Where in the PHP file can I put my database code?

[afullcup]

Thanks a million!!

OK - So I got a new page going using the examples in that tutorial. But I'm kind of back to the same issue of not knowing where to put my code so that it displays on my page!

I basically want to grab data out of a table and display it on my page. These are the last 3 lines of my php file:

PHP Code:

print("testing6\n");
eval('print_output("' . fetch_template('test_page') . '");'); 
print("testing7\n"); 


testing6 is printed at the very top of my page and testing7 isn't printed at all (which I'm sure is no surprise to you). I just don't understand where it is I'm supposed to put the database coding in order to have it displayed on my page below my header given that it is PHP code and isn't allowed in the template.

I hope that makes sense and I hope someone is around and willing to answer a silly question again.

anyone around to help me out? pretty please!
