 * Hell ao all!
    Can anyone give me an example of PHP coding to get data from my
   own table in the WordPress 3 database. I have an example in Joomla PHP:
 *     ```
       function getSats() {
       	$db = JFactory::getDBO();
       	$sql = "SELECT * FROM jos_alphajob_sats";
       	$db->setQuery($sql);
       	$data = $db->loadObjectList();
       	return($data);
       }
       ```
   
 * The above table are named “alphajob_sats” in the new WordPress database. There
   are 5 records (rows) with 2 fields (columns) named “sats_id” and “sats”.
 * I will be very pleased if anyone can help me over this hurdle!
