<?php
$host = 'localhost';
$dbusername ='root';
$dbpassword ='';
$database ='mp19';

$link =mysql_connect('localhost', 'root','12345678');
$db_selected = mysql_select_db('mp19', $link);

if (!$link)
  {exit("Connection Failed: " . $link);}

$sql="(SELECT * FROM 3-33)";
$result=mysql_query($sql, $link);


if (!$result)
  {exit("Error in SQL");}

echo "<table><tr>";
echo "<th>Date</th>";
while ($row=mysql_fetch_assoc($result))
  {
  var_dump($row);
  echo "<td>$row['date']</td></tr>";
  }
mysql_close($link);
?> 

The connection is successful but the data doesn't get fetched from phpmysql and neither does it print in a table. Why is this so?
