    while($row=mysql_fetch_array($result)) 
    { 
    ?>
    <?
    $message=stripslashes($row["userUserName"]);
    $msg_id=$row["useId"];  
    ?>

      <li><a href="editUserDetails.php?edit=<?php echo $msg_id; ?>" >
<?php echo $message; ?></a>   <a href="#" id="<?php echo $msg_id; ?>" class="delete_button">X</a></li>
