For those that should be interested :

When showing data from a MySQL database not using the viewer the best solution would be to make 2 php scripts

The one is holding the database connection information.

Once this is done and checked, then make another php script that includes the first database connection script. And then also a html section and some code that builds the the table and presents the data in a nice way.

A rather simple example for that here: http://eksempelsite.dk/udstillinger/Emner.php

The data can be integrated in X5 via an iframe specified in a html object.
