Answer 1

So I will stick to what you already have with some fixes.

<?php
error_reporting(E_ALL); 
ini_set('display_errors', 1);
$servername = "localhost";
$username = "xxxx";
$password = "xxxxxx";
$db_name = "xxxxxxxxx";

// Create connection
$conn = new mysqli($servername, $username, $password, $db_name);
// Check connection
if ($conn->connect_error){
  die("Connection failed: " . $conn->connect_error);
} 
$id = $_GET['id'];
$id = mysqli_real_escape_string($conn,$id);
$query = "SELECT * FROM `lyrics_a` WHERE `id`='" . $id . "'";
$result = mysqli_query($conn,$query);

while($row = mysqli_fetch_array($result)) {
echo "<br><br>";
echo $row['id'];
echo $row['eng_title'];
echo $row['eng_lyrics'];
echo $row['alphabet'];
}
?>

Answer 2

No need to use the id as a string,
you can use like : id=" . $id;

Answer 3

Try this:

<?php
$servername = "localhost";
$username = "";
$password = "";
$db_name = "test";


// Create connection
$conn = new mysqli($servername, $username, $password, $db_name);
// Check connection

 mysql_select_db($db_name);

$id = $_GET['id'];
$id = mysql_real_escape_string($id);
$query = "SELECT * FROM `lyrics` WHERE `id`='" . $id . "'";
$result = mysql_query($query);

while($row = mysql_fetch_array( $result )) {

echo "<br><br>";
echo $row['title'];
echo $row['content'];
 }
 ?>
