Display database table on HTML page without leaving HTML page
<p>I have an HTML page. I would like to create a few buttons and forms in order to display database information on my page. I could have several forms that call external PHP files that then print their own HTML, but I want to have the user stay on <code>mysite.com/home.html</code>.</p>

<p>Is there any way I can call external PHP files to display my database tables on my HTML page without leaving the <code>home.html</code> page? I don't want to echo over everything on the home page, so I'd imagine I need to make use of a <code>&lt;div id="printableArea"&gt;</code> element on <code>home.html</code>.</p>
