// Get records from database (table "name_list").
$result=mysql_query("select distinct from inventory where id='$select'");
while ($row=mysql_fetch_assoc($result)) {
echo"<b>";
echo "<tr><td style=\"font-size: 15px;\"><b>";
echo $row['itemNumber'];
echo "</td><td style=\"font-size: 15px;\"><b>";
echo $row['itemDesc'];
//echo "</td><td style=\"text-align: right;\"><b>";
echo "</td><td style=\"font-size: 15px; text-align: center;\"><b>";
echo $row['quantityHand'];
echo"</b>";
// End While loop
}
// End if statement.
}
$sql = "select * from inventory ORDER BY itemNumber ASC";
$result = mysql_query ($sql);
while($row = mysql_fetch_array( $result )) {
// Print out the contents of each row into a table
echo "<tr><td>";
echo $row['itemNumber'];
echo "</td><td>";
echo $row['itemDesc'];
//echo "</td><td style=\"text-align: right;\">";
echo "</td><td style=\"text-align: center;\">";
