(PHP/MySql) Create Recordset but no column

Question

Thanks for reading this, I am new to PHP/MySql
I have created a website www.ritchiecraft.co.uk which uses
PHP/MySql with Dreamweaver 8. I have created recordsets on most
items pages and filtered data as neccessary. After the site was up
and running I was required to insert a new topic and when I went to
create a new page and insert the recordset no data was placed in
the columns area and the filter/sort options were greyed out. I
checked the existing pages and found that this was happening to all
pages with recordsets. The connection, table data was there.
The site still works fine but I cannot introduce new pages or
edit existing because of the recordset problem. I was advised
previously to delete the Dreamweaver cache file but this did not
help.
The site is hosted commercially and the database was created
with phpMyAdmin and dont seem to have any connection problems.
Thanks for your time and any suggestions are welcome.

You can't do it through the Recordset dialog box. The simple
way to do
it is to create this query in the Recordset dialog box:
SELECT * FROM myTable
ORDER BY myOrder ASC
Then go into Code view and locate the following line:
$query_recordsetName = "SELECT * FROM myTable ORDER BY
myOrder ASC";
Change it to this:
if (isset($_GET['id'])) {
$col = get_magic_quotes_gpc() ? stripslashes($_GET['id']) :
$_GET['id'];
$col = mysql_real_escape_string($_GET['id']);
else {
$col = '*';
$query_recordsetName = "SELECT $col FROM myTable ORDER BY
myOrder ASC";
