Read data from custom table and display

[Exeter]

I figured this one out. The answer is "Understand the PHP execution model".

First, create a php file that generates your html. The html itself is in one or more templates. The php file calls/instantiates the templates. When and where is up to you.

In my case the php file first does a DB call, invokes a foreach loop that instantiates a template for each record, and then calls the main template.
