What is wrong with this code that uses the mysql extension to fetch data from a database in PHP?

Question

I want to fetch data from a mysql table using php. Please, can anyone tell me what is wrong with this code? What is the correct code to fetch data from a mysql database:

Answer 1

Try

$query = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM users WHERE name = 'Admin' ")or die(mysql_error());

and check if this throw any error.

Then use while($rows = mysql_fetch_assoc($query)):

And finally display it as

echo $name . "
" . $address . "
" . $email . "
" . $subject . "
" . $comment . "

" . ;

Do not user mysql_* as its deprecated.
