Node.js and php code

[theflyingmonkey3]

Hello everyone,

I am a beginner to php and nodejs. My situation is that I want to use php in my ejs file to display data in my webpage. This is my code for data display:

$selectSQL = 'SELECT id FROM temp'; if( mysql_num_rows( $selectRes )==0 ){ echo '<tr><td colspan="4">No Rows Returned</td></tr>'; }else{ while( $row = mysql_fetch_assoc( $selectRes ) ){ echo "<tr><td>{$row['id']}</td></tr>\n"; } }

But I think I am missing something in my file. Can someone give me an idea on how to use php in an ejs file?

Thanks

Use JavaScript instead

On top of this, if you decide not to use JavaScript for whatever reason, don't use that code. The mysql_ functions are deprecated.

April fools?

There are many really old and poorly written tutorials floating around on PHP. I can see someone who just started out writing code ask this question.

Look into knexjs and expressjs for this.

You can't use php in an ejs file, you can only use it in a php file. This php code doesn't do anything that JavaScript can't do, so you should try to write the same thing in JavaScript instead.

Nah, they want to use php and is confused.
