I have also tried:
<?php
$servername = "localhost";
$username = "*****";
$password = "*****";
$dbname = "******"
$db = new wpdb($username, $password, $dbname, $servername);
$row = $db->get_results("SELECT * FROM Event_Feeder ORDER BY id DESC LIMIT 25");
$db->show_errors();
echo "<table width=100%><font color=white size=4><tr><th width=33%>Date</th><th width=66%>Status</th></tr></font>";
foreach ($rows as $row)
{
echo " <font color=".$row->color" size=4><tr><td>".$row->date."</td> <td>".$row->text."</td></tr></font>";
}
echo "</table>";
?>
