Ok so here is the code I am using.
I use Notepad++. It checks for matching brackets on the fly.
If anything is not correct with the syntax, you will know their is a
problem because the text colors change.

$con = mysql_connect('localhost','user','pass');

if (!$con){die("can not connect: " . mysql_error()};

mysql_select_db('dbName',$con);

$sql = "SELECT * FROM 1960";
$myData=mysql_query($sql,$con);
echo "<table border='1'>";
echo
"<tr><th>atitle</th><th>btitle</th><th>artist</th><th>label</th ></tr>";

while ($record = mysql_fetch_array($myData)) {
echo "<tr>";
echo "<td>" . $record[atitle] . "</td>";
echo "<td>" . $record[btitle] . "</td>";
echo "<td>" . $record[artist] . "</td>";
echo "<td>" . $record[label] . "</td>";
echo "</tr>";

};

echo "</table";
