What results are you getting?...

>     $connection_id = @mysql_connect ('localhost', 'root') or die('No

>     $database_id   = @mysql_select_db ('cgcms', $connection_id) or die('No

I don't think "DESC $table_name $field_name" is valid SQL, is it?...

DESC is DESCENDING in an ORDER BY clause...

Perhaps if you used DESCRIBE?...  Is that what you are doing?...

There are built-in functions for getting the table definitions and so forth.
They may work better...

>     $row = mysql_fetch_array($result_id); # This is line 9
