I think Ignatius meant the PHP manual... It is rather terse, but the
functions have been categorised to make it easier to find.
See code alteration below.

$num2edit = $_POST['edit'];
$link = mysql_connect($host,$username,$password)
or die('Could not connect : '.mysql_error());
mysql_select_db($database) or die('Could not select database');
$query = "SELECT countryNum, country, nw, gov, strat, spy, troops, jets,
turrets, tanks, ally, owner FROM a2a WHERE countryNum=$num2edit";
echo "This is for test only: Print Query-> $query<br>\n";
$result = mysql_query($query);
$row=mysql_fetch_assoc($result); #$row is an array.
#display the row retrived from the database. For you information only.
echo "<pre>\n";
print_r($row);
echo "</pre>\n";
$countryNum = $row['countryNum'];
$country = $row['country'];
$nw = $row['nw'];
#then close the database connection...
