<?php
$con = mysql_connect("localhost","peter","abc123");
if (!$con)
{
die("Could not connect: " . mysql_error());
}
mysql_select_db("my_db", $con);
$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM person
WHERE FirstName="Peter"");
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))
{
echo $row["FirstName"] . " " . $row["LastName"];
echo "<br />";
}
?>
