mysqli_query() returns false because something wrong has happened in your query..Here your problem is with the single quotes..Instead of single quotes you should use back-ticks like

        $query = "select * from `table` " ;

        $query = "select * from 'table' " ;

You can't put table names in single-quotes. Single-quotes are for string literals and date literals.

You may put table names in back-ticks:

        $query = "select * from `table` " ;
