Need to query using PHP module

[ajmalsalim]

Hi,

I am trying to add a php module using site builder which shows latest posts from the database. I saw options using Search Module.

But I did not want that search module and it will be easy if I can write PHP MySQL queries. Is that possible?

I have tried as discussed on this thread but its showing Failed Extension.

What is the best way to do this? Creating an extension ?

Why don't you want to use the search module?

As Eddie asked, what is wrong with using the search module. Or, more specifically, what is it you want to do that the search module cannot?

I am getting an error. And I would like to customize the results showing title name only with some css changes. Also I would like to show a box that shows the posts based on their likes order.

I get a 404 error when trying to view that page. What is the exact error you are getting with the search module?

Anyway, yes you may put a query into a PHP module. What code have you tried already and what was the result?
