MYSQL and query

i have this codes,

<?

function db_connect()
{
$result = @mysql_pconnect("localhost", "khai", "password");
if (!$result)
return false;
if (!@mysql_select_db("khai"))
return false;

return $result;
}

function get_story_record($name1)
{
$conn = db_connect();
$nameID = $_GET['nameID'];
$sql = "select * from writers WHERE nameID='$nameID'";
$result = mysql_query($sql);
return(mysql_fetch_array($result));
}

if (isset($writers))
$s = get_story_record($name1);

echo "<tr>";
echo "<td>";
echo $s[name1];
echo "</td>";
echo "<td>";
echo $s[address];
echo "</td>";
echo "<td>";
echo $s[phone];
echo "</td>";
?>


i try to query from database..but there is nothing come out with this pages.

Are you sure $writers is set? Is the query correct? Can you run the query directory against the data base?

Try changing:

$result = mysql_query($sql);

to:

$result = mysql_query($sql)
or die (mysql_error());

see what that shows, if anything...
