This code is supposed to allow me to view data in a mysql database & then allow me to edit it & submit it updating the database. I'm getting an error "attached in the photo" when I go to the page in the browser.
<?php
$host="localhost"; // Host name
$username="uname"; // Mysql username
$password="password"; // Mysql password
$db_name="test"; // Database name
$tbl_name="test_mysql"; // Table name
// Connect to server and select database.
mysql_connect("$host", "$username", "$password")or die("cannot connect");
mysql_select_db("$db_name")or die("cannot select DB");
// get value of id that sent from address bar
$id=$_GET['id'];
// Retrieve data from database
$sql="SELECT * FROM $tbl_name WHERE id='$id'";
$result=mysql_query($sql);
$rows=mysql_fetch_array($result);
?>
