Table to excel not working

[ady01]

I have written the below to download my data from MySQL to excel format however all it does is display my error  'SQL table is empty, no data to display. Please add entries to database before using the download function'

 

Any idears why this is not working for me  ?

 

 

 

<?php
include('config.php');

$db=mysql_connect($AddressBook_HOST,$AddressBook_Username,$AddressBook_Password);
mysql_select_db($AddressBook_DatabaseName,$db);

$result = mysql_query('select * from Addresses', $linkID);
$count = mysql_num_fields($result);

for ($i = 0; $i < $count; $i++){
    $header .= mysql_field_name($result, $i)."\t";
}

while($row = mysql_fetch_row($result)){
  $line = '';
  foreach($row as $value){
    if(!isset($value) || $value == ""){
      $value = "\t";
    }else{

      $value = str_replace('"', '""', $value);

      $value = '"' . $value . '"' . "\t";
    }
    $line .= $value;
  }
  $data .= trim($line)."\n";
}

  $data = str_replace("\r", "", $data);



if ($data == "") {
  $data = "\nSQL table is empty, no data to display. Please add entries to database before using the download function\n";
}


header("Content-type: application/octet-stream");


header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=buddylist.xls");
header("Pragma: no-cache");
header("Expires: 0");

echo $header."\n".$data;
?>

update:

 

$result = mysql_query('select * from Addresses') or die(mysql_error());
