on line number nine replace with the following:

$result = mysql_query($qry) or die(mysql_error());

it seems like there is an error in ur mysql_query and no data is being given to the $result variable

$qry = "SELECT * FROM customer WHERE customerId = 1"

If your connection is OK, it probably means that the query is wrong - either the tablename or the fieldname.

Check the query in phpmyadmin's sql box.
