I've been trying and can't get it. I would like the results to come out in alphabetical order according to the parasitename. Here is without me trying:

 

<HTML>
<HEAD>
<META name="GENERATOR" content="WYSIWYG Web Builder from http://www.irishost.net              ">
<TITLE>ParasiteDB - Staff Area - New Parasite</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY bgcolor="#000080" text="#008000">
<IMG src="images/img00002.bmp" width="799" height="77" align="top" style="position:absolute;left:0px;top:0px;width:799px;height:77px;z-index:0">
<DIV style="position:absolute; left:259px; top:76px; width:291px; height:23px; z-index:1"  align="center" valign="top">
<FONT style="FONT-SIZE:14pt" color="#FFFF80" face="Tahoma">Staff Area -> Add New Parasite</FONT></DIV>
<DIV style="position:absolute; left:14px; top:73px; width:150px; height:31px; z-index:2"  align="left" valign="top">
<?php echo 'Hello, <b>Staff</b>.'; ?></DIV>
<DIV style="position:absolute; left:278px; top:132px; width:257px; height:91px; z-index:3"  align="left" valign="top">

<?php if (isset($_GET['addparasite'])): 
?>

<form action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>" method="post">

You don't really need this in your code.

$name = @mysql_query('SELECT parasitename FROM parasite');
if (!$name) {
exit('<p>Error performing query1: ' . mysql_error() . '</p>');
}
$from = @mysql_query('SELECT parasitefrom FROM parasite');
if (!$from) {
exit('<p>Error performing query2: ' . mysql_error() . '</p>');
}
$genre = @mysql_query('SELECT parasitegenre FROM parasite');
if (!$genre) {
exit('<p>Error performing query3: ' . mysql_error() . '</p>');
}
$description = @mysql_query('SELECT parasitedescription FROM parasite');
if (!$description) {
exit('<p>Error performing query4: ' . mysql_error() . '</p>');
}
$techinfo = @mysql_query('SELECT parasitetechinfo FROM parasite');
if (!$techinfo) {
exit('<p>Error performing query5: ' . mysql_error() . '</p>');
}

 

To order alphabetically change this.

SELECT parasitename,parasitefrom,parasitegenre,parasitedescription,parasitetechinfo FROM parasite

to this.

SELECT parasitename,parasitefrom,parasitegenre,parasitedescription,parasitetechinfo FROM parasite ORDER BY parasitename ASC

 

EDIT:  You might want to take a look into http://us2.php.net/manual/en/function.mysql-escape-string.php for when inserting data.
