i'd use the Yarp™ Birthday island as the example, since it is a real custom island.
taking the top posters as an example helps you understand the php behind the scenes dealio, but the Bday one shows you where to put everything in a custom island.
seems as if Custom islands are notorious for having stuff put in the wrong place

at least with Yarp™'s, you could start from there and just change the sql crapola and then simply generate the table with your two columns into a variable (say $muhaha -- like he builds $bdays).. then slam the result between the EOF and voila

if i find a spare 30mins, i can post the CI over @ ubbdev. it's not too hard to do for a ubb geek, but might be a tad pain in the arse otherwise (still totally doable and i encourage you going for it, if you'd like)
