$result=mysql_query($query);

Is your query string supposed to have a beginning quote with no closing quote?

you have

Code: 
$query=" SELECT target, purpose, username, password, email, sec?, secAns, visits, lastdate,
lasttime, saved FROM `lookuptbl`;

but shouldn't it be

Code: 
$query="SELECT target, purpose, username, password, email, sec?, secAns, visits, lastdate,
lasttime, saved FROM `lookuptbl`";

OK, I'm lost. Is my php not working, mysgl not working, my server not working, none, all?
==========================================================
my include statement( include('homedb-connect.php'); :
-----------------------------------------------------------
<?php
$con=mysqli_connect("localhost","root","","homedb");
// ============== check connection
if(mysqli_errno($con))
{echo "Can't Connect to mySQL:".mysqli_connect_error();}
else
{echo "</br>";}
?>
--------------------------------------------
should produce error message if no connect?
===============================================
this code:
-------------------------
<!DOCTYPE html><html>
<head></HEAD>
<body><center><b>

<?php
error_reporting(E_ALL ^ E_NOTICE);
// error_reporting(0);
include('homedb-connect.php');
$query = "SELECT * FROM `lookuptbl` WHERE `target` = `$target` ORDER by target Asc";
$result = $mysqli->query($query) or die($mysqli->error.__LINE__);
while ($row = mysqli_fetch_array($result, MYSQLI_ASSOC))
{

// Open the table
echo "<table>";
echo "<tr bgcolor="#ccffff">";
echo "<td>$target</td>";
echo "<td>$purpose</td>";
echo "<td>$username</td>";
echo "<td>$password</td>";
echo "<td>$emailused</td>";
echo "<td>$visits</td>";
echo "<td>$lastdate</td>";
echo "<td>$lasttime</td>";
echo "<td>$saved</td>";
echo "</tr>";
echo "</table>";
?>
</b></center></body></html>
---------------------------------------
should display the table?

You need a webserver running php for this to work. You can't just open the file in a browser. The browser only understands html, javascript and css.

Chances are you need to name the file php to get the interpreter to run as well. (ie. http://localhost/read-junk.php). C:\Users\charlie\Documents\read-junk.html will always produce literal output.

With the caveat that I have not written php in a good while, the pattern used to be:
Code: 
$con=mysqli_connect("localhost","root","","homedb");
if (! $con) {
  echo "Uhoh!";
}
That being said, the php manual does have both ways used.

For actual code issues:

Those look like backticks instead of single quotes to me ( ` vs ' ), one is by escape and what you don't want and the other is by the enter key.

I don't know where $target is coming from, it just starts showing up in your code.

You'll also want to escape the variables you are subbing into your query string, otherwise you open your stuff up to injection.
 
Keep getting advice from forums and w/thanks. I keep trying code that has worked before. I use xampp, even new versions. I suspect that Windows stopped support for win7 my PHP is corrupted and not functioning. I clicked on error logs and on PHP got "cannot find path". thoughts?

When using xampp, you need to make sure you are accessing the served version, not the direct from disk version. In your screenshots it looks like you are always opening the file directly in the browser.

Without the full line I don't know.

Cromewell, I truly thank for taking time to help, please do. If I possessed your knowledge, I'd say "well alrighty then, that explains everything".

can you or someone, given this info, tell me why I can't read data from my database?

Screenshot #3 looks closest to how you want to access the page.

I'm going to assume you have not changed any of the xampp configuration, so what you need to do is put your php into your hosted directory. This will usually be C:\xampp\htdocs. Entering http://localhost can only access files that your server is hosting and it is jailed so that all your stuff isn't posted for the world to see. If you can find your apache http.conf you can find the DocumentRoot config item to see where this folder is.

An easy way to cheat is to find where the phpmyadmin directory is and make a directory in the same folder as it and put your code there. Then you would run the code by entering http://localhost/thefolderyoumade/read-junk.php. i.e C:\xampp\htdocs\phpmyadmin and C:\xampp\htdocs\home and then put your code in the home directory.

Double check the permissions of the file and what user apache is running as, you may need to grant additional permissions. The 404 error says that the server cannot find home/read-junk.php under htdocs.
