If your tables has other characters than a-z,A-Z,0-9 and - and _ then
you should put `` around the variable

$result = mysql_query("select * from `{$tableName}`");

I think you should use a while-loop instead of the for-loop you are using

while($row=mysql_fetch_array($result)) {
/* do something */
}
