PHP and MySql problem

Ok, How do you enter sample code?

I'm trying to display data that I have in the database in a table. I'm using some code out of "PHP5 and MySQL Bible." I can use a select statement and get the info out, but I'm trying to get it displayed in a table, and keep ending up with this:

:: tries to enter code here ::

Here is my function, I can't see anything wrong with it! I am hosting on godaddy, with mysql 4.1. I have coded before, but admit I'm a bit rusty right now, someone asked me to build a site for them.

:: tries to enter code here ::

Nevermind, just needed to add a couple quotation marks. But how would you insert code snippits?

If you're trying to display code in this forum it can be difficult at times and you'll have to use some specific html characters to display data. Mainly the ">" and "<" characters. The [ code] [ /code] tags are supposed to help but other than highlighting your code they don't seem to do much.

// This is php code
if(this->code == true)[
//do something here;
