Weird... The query contains an unmatched quote.

Your code relies on the register_globals directive, which is disabled by
default. There're good reasons for it. You should access your query
params through the $_GET array. E.G.:

$query = "SELECT product_name FROM `code_tbl` WHERE `code` >='" .
mysql_real_escape_string($_GET['code']) . "'";
