Has anyone been able to create a marquee from rows within a database? I'm not able to figure this out. Using PHP and MySQL.

Yes, what you have to do is get the data from the databse and put it in the marquee script. I can her you say duh... at this moment 
First create the query that get's the info from the database.
In the script replace the pieces of code containing the info that is going to be displayed and replace them with {my_info}
Now do a set tag action that walks through the resultset (array) of the query and writes each entry to the html page. Ok I'll post both the html bits of a paige containing a scroll script and the event code for you so this is going to look terrible but might be of use
HTML:
<html>
<head>
<title>default</title>
<style type="text/css">#dropcontentsubject{ width: 100%; font-weight: bold; }
.dropcontent{ width: 100%; height: 150px; border: 1px solid black;
background-color: #DFDFFF; padding: 3px; display:block; }</style>
<script type="text/javascript">
/***********************************************

var tickspeed=10000 //ticker speed in miliseconds (2000=2 seconds)
var enablesubject=1 //enable scroller subject? Set to 0 to hide
if (document.getElementById){
document.write('<style type="text/css">\n')
document.write('.dropcontent{display:none;}\n')
document.write('</style>\n')
}
var selectedDiv=0
var totalDivs=0
function contractall(){
var inc=0
while (document.getElementById("dropmsg"+inc)){
document.getElementById("dropmsg"+inc).style.display="none"
inc++
}
}
function expandone(){
var selectedDivObj=document.getElementById("dropmsg"+selectedDiv)
contractall()
document.getElementById("dropcontentsubject").innerHTML=selectedDivObj.getAttribute("subject")
selectedDivObj.style.display="block"
selectedDiv=(selectedDiv<totalDivs-1)? selectedDiv+1 : 0
setTimeout("expandone()",tickspeed)
}
function startscroller(){
while (document.getElementById("dropmsg"+totalDivs)!=null)
totalDivs++
expandone()
if (!enablesubject)
document.getElementById("dropcontentsubject").style.display="none"
}
if (window.addEventListener)
window.addEventListener("load", startscroller, false)
else if (window.attachEvent)
window.attachEvent("onload", startscroller)
</script>
</head>
<body bottommargin="0" leftmargin="0" topmargin="0" rightmargin="0" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0">

</table>
</p>
</body>
</html>
Eventcode(php):
global $Tpl;
$db=new clsDBConnection1;
$db->query("select news_title,news_html from news where news_cat=7 and news_cluster=8 order by news_date desc");
$i=0;
while($db->next_record())
{
$my_array=Array();
$my_array["subject"]=$db->f("news_title");
$my_array["content"]=$db->f("news_html");
$num=$i;
$Tpl->SetVar("my_block", "<font face='Tahoma' size='2'><div id='dropmsg" .$num ."' class='dropcontent' subject='" .$my_array["subject"] ."'>" .$my_array["content"] ."</div></font>");
$Tpl->Parse("myblock",True);
$i++;
}
unset($db);
In the html stuff look at the myblock stuff. Hope this helps

Wow, more code than I would have thought. I will give it try. Thanks for the detail and time it took to write this.
