Add field to displaying mysql row

Good day to you all,
I'm still learning the wicked database world and i found a piece of code which read and display a db table without me telling each colum totle and field name.

Here is my code:

Code: Select all

...
if (!mysql_connect($db_host, $db_user, $db_pwd))
    die("Can't connect to database");

if (!mysql_select_db($database))
    die("Can't select database");

// sending query
$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM {$table}");
if (!$result) {
    die("Query to show fields from table failed");
}

$fields_num = mysql_num_fields($result);

echo "<h1>Table: {$table}</h1>";
echo "<table border='0' id=\"table\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" align=\"center\"><tr>";
echo "<td id=\"title\">options</td>";
// printing table headers
for($i=0; $i<$fields_num; $i++)
{
    
    $field = mysql_fetch_field($result);
    echo "<td id=\"title\">{$field->name}</td>";
}
echo "</tr>\n";
// printing table rows
$s = 0;
while(($row = mysql_fetch_row($result)) !== false){
	$s++;
	
    echo "<tr>";
    echo "<td id=\"fields".($s & 1)."\"><a href=\"delete_table_row_db.php?id=" . $s[id]. "\" title=\"DELETE : Row ID #:" . $s[id] . "\"><img src=\"Template/Images/delete.png\" border=\"0\"/></a><INPUT TYPE=\"checkbox\" name=\"" . $row['id'] . "\"></td>";

    // $row is array... foreach( .. ) puts every element
    // of $row to $cell variable
    foreach($row as $cell)
    
        echo "<td id=\"fields".($s & 1)."\">$cell</td>";

    echo "</tr>\n";
}
mysql_free_result($result);
In the part :

Code: Select all

<td id=\"fields".($s & 1)."\"><a href=\"delete_table_row_db.php?id=" . $s[id]. "\" title=\"DELETE : Row ID #:" . $s[id] . "\"><img src=\"Template/Images/delete.png\" border=\"0\"/></a><INPUT TYPE=\"checkbox\" name=\"" . $row['id'] . "\"></td>";
What i'm trying to do is to add options to the row, ex: delete, edit...

My only problem is that I cannot find the var to put which would tell which row it is.

Can somebody help me ?
Thanks!
