Question Codeing problem with MySQL/PHP - Returning data.

Hi,

I have run the following SQL query through PHP but just get this error message:

Parse error: parse error in /files/home3/**** /cgi-bin/rr.php on line 30


QUERY

#!/usr/local/bin/php4

<?

$db_name = "******_pn";
$table_name = "president";

$connection = @mysql_connect("*******", "*****r", "*******8")
or die("Couldn't connect.");

$db = @mysql_select_db($db_name, $connection)
or die("Couldn't select database.");


$sql = "SELECT last_name
FROM $table_name

";

$result = @mysql_query($sql,$connection)
or die("Couldn't execute query.");

while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) {
$id = $row['last_name'];
}

$display_block .= "
<P><strong>$id</strong>
";

}

?>

<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>My Music (Ordered by ID)</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>

<H1>My Music</H1>

<? echo "$display_block"; ?>


</BODY>
</HTML>


Much thanks for any help.

Thank you very much ghatzhat'

That did print an output, although I think I'm going to have to do some more reading up on the $id++ as no actual results were returned - I guess because I was not "looping" the result.

Thank you once again

JD
