var to db output

[matvespa]

Hi. I found a code online but unfortunately, the data is retrieved via variables. How can i convert this code to retrieve the data from database instead. Thank you in ADVANCE!

 

var members = [
    ['Steven B. Ayres', '1911-1913', 'New York', 'Independent Democrat', '1861-1929'],
    ['William Augustus Ayres', '1915-1921 1923-1934', 'Kansas', 'Democratic', '1867-1952'],
    ['William Hanes Ayres', '1951-1971', 'Ohio', 'Republican', '1916-2000']
];

That appears to be JSON created with JS. How are you querying the database?

[matvespa]

yup it is a js file. But how can i change it to php so that my data can be read via databasse. I have not done any query yet. Tried this but doesnt work.

var = "SELECT * from table_name";

To be honest mate I'd go back to basics; learn the fundamentals of PHP before attempting to query databases.
