Actually, I could use that myself. I need to display 2 gigantic database tables of old forum posts and news stories as an archive type of deal.

This is kind of rough - but I have this working:

First the DB connection -
$db_user "user";
$db_pwd =  "password";
$db='db_name'\ something like "\\path\to\database.mdb";


$db_connection = @odbc_connect ("DRIVER={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)}; DBQ=$db"$db_user$db_pwdSQL_CUR_USE_ODBC) or die("The database is unavailable at this time. Please try again later");
?>


Then, you'll need a form -
<FORM METHOD "POST" ACTION "yourpage.php">
<
table width '100%' class='table1'><tr><td align='center'>
<
table class='table1'><tr><th size '10'>Call #Ref #Store #Store NameStart DateEnd Date
<tr>    <td><input type "text" name "call" size 10 value "">td>
    <
td><input type "text" name "ref" size 10 value "">td>
    <
td><input type "text" name "store" size 10 value "">td>
    <
td><input type "text" name "name" size 40 value "">td>
    <
td><input type "text" name "start" size 10 value "">td>
    <
td><input type "text" name "end" size 10 value "">td>
tr>
<
tr><td colspan='6' align='right'>
<
input type "submit" name "submit" value "Search">
<
input type "reset" name "reset" value "Clear">
td>tr>table>
td>tr>table>
FORM>



Then, the rest of the page
if (!$submit) {


    echo 
"

 Your page title 



"
;


    
$qsel_calls $YourQueryString;
} else {
    
// do something w/ POST vars

    
$callnum $_POST['call'];
    
$storenum $_POST['store'];
    
$storename $_POST['name'];
    
$startdate $_POST['start'];
    
$enddate $_POST['end'];
    
$refno $_POST['ref'];

    
$where "(table.opendate >= #$startdate#) AND (table.opendate <= #$enddate#) AND (table.accountnumber LIKE '$billto%')";
    if (
$callnum != "") {$where .= " AND (table.call_num LIKE '$callnum%')";echo "  Call # - ".$callnum ."*
"
;}
    if (
$storenum != ""){$where .= " AND (table.storeacct LIKE '$storenum%')";echo "  Store # - ".$storenum ."*
"
;}
    if (
$storename != ""){$where .= " AND (table.groupname LIKE '$storename%')";echo "  Store Name - ".$storename ."*
"
;}
    if (
$refno != ""){$where .= " AND (table.po_num LIKE '$refno%')";echo "  Ref # - ".$refno ."*
"
;}

    echo 
"  Start Date - ".$startdate ."
"
;
    echo 
"  End Date - ".$end ."
"


    
$qsel_calls "SELECT _________    WHERE ".$where ." ORDER BY table.opendate DESC";

}
echo 
"";
echo 
"Call #Ref #Date OpenedStoreSummaryStatus";
$result odbc_exec($db_connection$qsel_calls);

$firstrow odbc_fetch_row ($result1);
while (
$firstrow)
    {
        
        echo 
"$rowcolor'>".odbc_result($result,"call_num")."";
        echo 
".odbc_result($result,"po_num") ." ";
        echo 
"" .date("m/d/Y",strtotime(odbc_result($result,"opendate"))) ."";
        echo 
"" .odbc_result($result,"groupname") ."";
        echo 
"" .odbc_result($result,"summary") ."";
        echo 
"" .odbc_result($result,"status") ."";
//        echo "";

        
$firstrow odbc_fetch_row ($result);
    }

echo 
"End of List";

odbc_close($db_connection);
?>


Be sure to use the other required elements for a XOOPS module - xoops_version.php, include XoopsRoot/header.php and footer.php.

Wow, thanks! I wrote one to display it all, but it's about 60,000 messages and it crashes some browsers. I just need to figure out how to get it to output multiple pages and only show a certain number of rows on each page from the table now. (I am new at .php)
