You're if statement needs to be within the while loop. You can't assign the values to qtyleft and name until you have fetched the row, and you need the array name before the key value:

<?php
 include ('config.php'); 
?>

<?php

  $result=mysql_query("select * from inventory");
  $num=mysql_num_rows($result);


  while ($row=mysql_fetch_array($result, MYSQL_ASSOC))
  {

    $qtyleft=$row['qtyleft'];
    $name=$row['name'];

    if($qtyleft <= 5)
    {
      echo '<span>'.$name.'</span>';
      echo "almost out of stock";
    }

  }

?>
