Hi Karl,
The problem is in your formatting.

> product=".$id order by id asc);
Try this instead
$specs_query = mysql_query('SELECT title, information FROM spec WHERE
product=' . $id . ' ORDER BY id ASC');
Note the use of single quotes (it's faster)
You could have just done this with double quotes:
$specs_query = mysql_query("SELECT title, information FROM spec WHERE
product=$id ORDER BY id ASC");
It might also be a good idea to put single quotes around $id if it comes
from user input:
$specs_query = mysql_query('SELECT title, information FROM spec WHERE
product=\'' . $id . '\' ORDER BY id ASC');
- OR -
$specs_query = mysql_query("SELECT title, information FROM spec WHERE
product='$id' ORDER BY id ASC");
Have fun!
