 * Hey guys, I would like to have my button run a mysql query in my database and
   display the results on another page, is this possible with MaxButtons? What are
   my options?

 * Hi,
 * I recommend reading up the differences between ‘front-end’ and ‘back-end’ of 
   websites. In short, your database is the backend, your buttons are visible on
   the frontend (browser).
 * If you can link the button to an URL that runs the required query it will work.
   But this is all backend work / coding that MaxButtons ( or any other frontend
   thing ) will not do for you. You will need to create that result page somehow.
