DB query using the funct. "_dbQuery"

FIXME Better TRANSLATE

Here's a small example of how the built-in function _dbQuery may be used in a script.

function _dbQuery($query='', $_queryMode='ASSOC') { ....... } 


$_queryMode:


Example:

Adoption: From a given table (exemplarily “phpwcms_country”) data should be selected and displayed in a CP.
Of course the table can also be a self-created.

The script is stored in the folder /frontend_render/ . The data are here collected from the database, selected and placed into a usable format, here <table>.
With a replacement tag is the result shown in a CP.


Adjusted Table Excerpt:

country_id country_iso country_iso3 country_isonum country_continent_code country_name country_continent
