8,017 PointsWhat does the information stored look like? How was it created?
So I get that we have information on a database that references the media library. But what format is it in. For instance:
try {
$results = $db->query("SELECT title, category FROM Media");
What type of format is the SELECT title in? what about category?
This might be kind of a lofty and broad question but anything that will make me understand better.

15,357 PointsYou actually just performed a simple query in SQL, but you used PHP to do it. At this point in the course we aren't introduced yet as to how to view or render the results. Bur rest assured that if you get the "Retrieved Results" string, then you have performed a query to the database successfully.

If you are confused about try {} then this is used for exception handling purposes. try{} block contains the executable code if an error occurred then it will handle by catch{} block. I think this is an advance topic for you yet.
