In my application I am getting the following error when trying to get data from MySQL. I'm not sure if it is a misconfiguration of MySQL, if someone could check my code for me and tell me how MySQL should look it will be greatly appreciated.
The error that I am receiving is Could not query: Unknown column 'id' in 'where clause'. This only displays once I select an item from the drop down box.
Here is the code for the main page which has the drop down box on it
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Cable Management</title>
<link href="style.css" rel="stylesheet">

<div class="wrapper">
<?php include("Header.php"); ?>
<div id="main">
<h1>Cable Management</h1>
<h2>Bournemouth Office</h2>
<p>Enter how many cables you want to remove or add from the Bournemouth office</p>
<script>
function showcables(str)
{
if (str == "")
{
document.getElementById("txtHint").innerHTML="";
return;
}
if (window.XMLHttpRequest)
{// code for IE7+, Firefox, Chrome, Opera, Safari
xmlhttp=new XMLHttpRequest();

xmlhttp.onreadystatechange=function()

Here is the getcable.php page which actually has the MySQL commands in it
<?php
$q = intval($_GET['q']);
$con = mysqli_connect('localhost','root','','cables');
if (!$con)
{
die("Could not connect: " . mysqli_connect_error());
}
$sql="SELECT * FROM bmouthoff WHERE id = '".$q."'";
$result = mysqli_query($con,$sql) or die ("Could not query: " . mysqli_error($con));
echo "<table>";
while($row = mysqli_fetch_array($result))
{
echo "<tr>";
echo "<td>" . $row['Amount'] . "</td>";
echo "</tr>";
}
echo "</table>";
mysqli_close($con);
?>
