I am trying to fetch data from the following database data:

enter image description here

And display the data with this CSS & HTML code:

    <div class="event">
        <img src="http://dummyimage.com/80x70/f00/fff.png" alt="picture" />  
        <p>Room 2</p>
        <p class="patient-name">Jon Harris</p>
        <p class="event-text">This is a pixel. A flying pixel!</p>
        <p class="event-timestamp">feb 2 2011 - 23:01</p>
    </div>

.event {  
    display:block;  
    background: #ececec;  
    width:380px;  
    padding:10px;  
    margin:10px;  
    overflow:hidden;  
    text-align: left;
}  
.event img {
    display:block;
    float:left;
    margin-right:10px;
}  

.event p {  
    font-weight: bold;
}

.event img + p {
    display:inline;
}

.patient-name {
    display:inline;
    color: #999999;
    font-size: 9px;
    line-height:inherit;
    padding-left: 5px;
}
.event-text{
    color: #999999;
    font-size: 12px;
    padding-left: 5px;
}
.event-timestamp{
    color: #000;
    padding-left: 5px;
    font-size: 9px;
}

Here is my PHP code:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
  <title>DASHBOARD - Arduino 3</title>
  <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css/style.css">
</head>
<body>
    <?php
    $con = mysql_connect("localhost","*****","***");
        if(!con)
        {
            die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error());
        }

        mysql_select_db("arduino_db",$con);

        $result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM events");
        //Start container
        echo " <div id='background_container'> ";

        while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))
        {
            echo "<div class='event'>";
            echo "<img src='img/ev_img/red.jpg' alt='picture' />";
            echo "<p>" . $row['inneboende'] . "</p>";
            echo "<p class='patient-name'>" . "$row['overvakare']" . "</p>";
            echo "<p class='event-text'>" . "$row['handelse']" . "</p>";
            echo "<p class='event-timestamp'>" . "$row['tid']" . "</p>";
            echo "</div>";
        }

        //end container
        echo "</div>"
        mysql_close($con);

    ?>
</body>
</html>

All I get is a blank page, and I cant understand why.

    You’re missing a semicolon here (I added it):

    //end container
echo "</div>";

    You should remove the quotes around the $row array variables on these lines, like this:

    echo "<p class='patient-name'>" . $row['overvakare'] . "</p>";
echo "<p class='event-text'>" . $row['handelse'] . "</p>";
echo "<p class='event-timestamp'>" . $row['tid'] . "</p>";

    With these changes, it works (I tested it).

    I suppose that’s the one upside of you having posted your actual connection details 🙂

    As mentioned in the comments, you should now definitely change your password.

    Also, during development, you should make sure error reporting is enabled, see this answer for various ways to do this.
