Hello,
My query is executed and it is working fine but when i want to print that updated records then i got that error(mysql_fetch_result).

You are running an update query, and pass the return value of mysql_query into mysql_fetch_array.
So, as per the manual text below, you pass a boolean into mysql_fetch_array, not a record set. Hence the error message.

http://php.net/manual/en/function.mysql-query.php

For SELECT, SHOW, DESCRIBE, EXPLAIN and other statements returning resultset, mysql_query() returns a resource on success, or FALSE on error.

For other type of SQL statements, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, DROP, etc, mysql_query() returns TRUE on success or FALSE on error.

Best,
jwer

In adittion to the ans by @jwer, what you need now is a SELECT query which will fetch data from your updated table.

use select query to get data set from your corresponding table.
