Code: Select all

<?lc
	put "livecodecom" into tDatabaseAddress
	put "runrev_test" into tDatabaseName
	put "runrev_example" into tDatabaseUser
	put "example" into tDatabasePassword

	put revOpenDatabase("MySQL", tDatabaseAddress, tDatabaseName, tDatabaseUser, tDatabasePassword) into tResult
	if tResult is a number then
	put tResult into gConnectionID
	
	put "Table1" into tTableName	-- set this to the name of a table in your database
	put "SELECT * FROM " & tTableName into tSQL
	
	-- query the database
	put revDataFromQuery(tab, cr, gConnectionID, tSQL) into tData
	
	put tData
?>

Hi klamp,

welcome to the forum!

Hm, you will need to:
1. Create an array from tData
2. Then turn this array to a JSON with -> ArrayToJson(the_array_from_tData) and "put" this.
But on the client or server side, you have to do it this way.


Best

Klaus

Before to try to convert things, you need first to really understand what are arrays...

Here is a good intro :
