I don't see anything glaringly wrong with your code.
I would change this:
$result = mysql_query ($query)
into:
if( !($result = mysql_query ($query)) )
echo "Error: " . mysql_error() . "<BR>";
as I find that most of my errors in something this simple
are in something fairly simple with the query itself (misspelled
table or something).
also make sure that if you copy your query and paste it directly
into MySQL that it works.
