$username = "root";
$password = "";
$dbname = "my_table";
// Create connection
$conn = new mysqli($servername, $username, $password, $dbname);
// Check connection
if ($conn->connect_error) {
die("Connection failed: " . $conn->connect_error);
}
$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM my_table");
if ($result === FALSE) {
die(mysql_error()); // TODO: better error handling
}
$data = array();
while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) {
$data[] = $row['Email'];
}
echo join($data, ',');
?>

You are conencting to a database here called "my_table":
$dbname = "my_table";
And then, in your SQL statement, you try connecting to a table called the same:
$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM my_table");
Are you sure this is the correct name for your database?
On PHPMyAdmin you can click "Databases" to view the Database names and then, when clicking on the db, it will give you a list of tables:
