Code:
<html>
<head>
<title> Forum Index</title>
</head>
<body>
<table class="common-tbl cat" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
    <thead>
        <tr>
            <th><h4><a href="">Category</a></h4></th>
        </tr>
    </thead>
    <tbody>
        <tr>
            <td><h4><a href="" title=""></a>Forum Title</h4>Description</td>
            <td><a href="" title="">RE: Last Post</a><br />
            by <a href="" title="">Member Name</a><br />DateTime</td>
        </tr>
    </tbody>
</table>
</body>
</html>
I have made the above code which will suffice for my main page of the simple forum I am making. I need to customize this code based on the information I have in the database. Say for example I have 3 forums with the parent the category which would look like this:
Code:
<html>
<head>
<title> Forum Index</title>
</head>
<body>
<table class="common-tbl cat" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
    <thead>
        <tr>
            <th><h4><a href="">Category</a></h4></th>
        </tr>
    </thead>
    <tbody>
        <tr>
            <td><h4><a href="" title=""></a>Forum Title</h4>Description</td>
            <td><a href="" title="">RE: Last Post</a><br />
            by <a href="" title="">Member Name</a><br />DateTime</td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
            <td><h4><a href="" title=""></a>Forum Title</h4>Description</td>
            <td><a href="" title="">RE: Last Post</a><br />
            by <a href="" title="">Member Name</a><br />DateTime</td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
            <td><h4><a href="" title=""></a>Forum Title</h4>Description</td>
            <td><a href="" title="">RE: Last Post</a><br />
            by <a href="" title="">Member Name</a><br />DateTime</td>
        </tr>
    </tbody>
</table>
</body>
</html>
So say I query my database table and count the 3 forums that are linked to that category. How would I make this dynamic? And ideas are appreciated. I have a few of my own which I will attempt now.
