Help with PHP pulling from a database.

I have a display page, pulling from a MySQL database with PHP, I can get everything to work right, I just want a different variable in the URL. I want it to be the text from the variable 'name' and can't seem to figure out what to update. Any help is great!

public function __construct($rid, $table) {
    /* Connect to Database */
    require('dbinfo.php');
    //$table=$this->table;  // Choose Recipe Table Optional
    $link = mysql_connect($databaseip,$username,$password);
    mysql_select_db($database,$link);
    $query = "SELECT * FROM $table WHERE rid=$rid";
    $result=mysql_query($query);
    $this->result = $result;
    mysql_close($link);
