Answer 1

Where you are printing out your values, there are a few errors.
In this specific code block:
while( $row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)){
echo '<tr>';
echo '<td>' row['no'] '</td>';
echo '<td>' row['name'] '</td>';
echo '<td>' row['oname'] '</td>';
echo '<td>' row['quantity'] '</td>';
echo '</tr>';
}
First off all, you would want to concatinate your strings, PHP uses . for that.
For example, to concatinate "World!" to "Hello, ", to print out Hello, World!, you would use the following:
echo "Hello, " . "World!";
You are also missing a variable sign ($) in your code, when printing out the rows.
In your case, you're using echo '<td>' row['no'] '</td>';,
where it should have been echo '<td>' . $row['no'] . '</td>';
To clarify, your code should look like this:
while($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)){
echo '<tr>';
echo '<td>' . $row['no'] . '</td>';
echo '<td>' . $row['name'] . '</td>';
echo '<td>' . $row['oname'] . '</td>';
echo '<td>' . $row['quantity'] . '</td>';
echo '</tr>';
}

Answer 2

There's a typo-
row['no']
to
$row['no']
Similarly other variables too.
