<?php

$username="root"; // Mysql username
$password="sanfan49er"; // Mysql password
$db_name="guestbook"; // Database name 
$tbl_name="visitors"; // Table name 
// Connect to server and select database.
mysql_connect("localhost", "root", "ryubest")or die("cannot connect server "); 
mysql_select_db("guestbook")or die("cannot select DB");
$sql="SELECT * FROM visitors";
$result=mysql_query($sql);
while($rows=mysql_fetch_array($result)){

I believe it has something to do with your short tags. It is best to use <?php ?> instead of <? ?>

changing the last <? to <?php fixes this:

<?php
}
mysql_close();
?>
