This question already has an answer here:
I try this for view single row data:
include("../engine/setconnect.php");
$sql = "SELECT id_member,username FROM account WHERE id_member=".$_GET['id_member'];
$result = mysql_query($sql);
$data = mysql_fetch_assoc($result);
echo "$data['id_member']";
echo "$data['name']";
But the result always:
Warning: mysql_fetch_assoc() expects parameter 1 to be resource, boolean given in
Data in 'id_member' is alphanumeric
How to fix this? :(

If that field is indeed alpha numeric, then you should include quotes:
id_member = '".$_GET['id_member'] . "'";
Please, don't use
mysql_*
functions in new code. They are no longer maintained and are officially deprecated. See the red box? Learn about prepared statements instead, and use PDO or MySQLi - this article will help you decide which. If you choose PDO, here is a good tutorial.
Here is a simple example using PDO with prepared statements:
if(isset($_GET['id_member'])) {
$db = new PDO('mysql:host=localhost;dbname=DATABASE_NAME', 'username', 'password');
$sql = "SELECT id_member,username FROM account WHERE id_member = :id_member";
$select = $db->prepare($sql);
$select->bindParam(':id_member', $_GET['id_member']);
$select->execute();
$result = $select->fetch(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC);
echo $result['username'];
}
Mysql is deprecated and I strongly suggest you to use prepared statements, but while this question is about mysql, I'll answer the question.
Data type of column id_member is not numeric. So you have to wrap it with quotes.
$sql = "SELECT id_member,username FROM account WHERE id_member='".$_GET['id_member']."'";
