hi ishlux,
we use functions to prevent sql injections. place all functions in one page like functions.php
and include that in every php file then you can call that functions and

hi

i want to retrieve from database......as soon as i click on inbox it should display all the contents like from, subject, date and if i click on subject it should show the contents pls help me.....................................as soon as possible ......

Hi,

first extract all the mails for a user from table. and display them in a table.

then when you click on a subject, you can use different ways to show the message.

1. you can redirect user to another page with the mailid, and in that page you can retrieve all the information from database using that mail id.

2. you can use invisible divs in the same page and when you click on a message, you can display the div with the message.

3. you can use AJAX to get values.
