Hi, I am doing a college project which involves using PHP scripts to update a MySQL database. For demonstration purposes I would like the new updated table in my Database to be shown each time it is updates without me having to go to the command prompt window and type in select * from members; for example! I will have the command window open for the demo. Thanks Kev.

Live display of a mysql table isn't possible AFAIK, but you could fake it through scripting og programming on your preferred platform, just do a select * from somewhere statement every second (<- put favorite interval there) and display it the way you like it to be displayed... PHP could do it, perhaps not the most effective solution, but certainly an easy solution... use a persistant connection and HTTP-REFRESH or something, unless you're dumping heavy work on the DB this should be fine, if we're talking high-performance time-critical and or high-load stuff here, you might wanna look at somethingelse... -- Andreas D.
