[thelist] PHP function problem

Are you sure you're not changing the value of $db between here
> $db="name";

and here?
>  mysql_select_db($db) ;

Your code looks fine to me, apart from the mis-spelling of "from" in the
query ;-)

What are you doing with $result? What's the line that actually generates
the error?

Cheers
