This function doesn't work:

You need to try mysqli_query() function

In the future used mysqli functions.

To solve your issue just add this

$result= mysql_query($sql,$con);

where do i add it?

I just gave you the code:

$result= mysql_query($sql,$con);

Just add

$con 

to this:

$result= mysql_query($sql);

and you will get this:

$result= mysql_query($sql,$con);
