PHP file cannot enter some part of code

I am building a news website and I have a function file, for all functions but, nearly all the functions made the same way as the below example:

function one(){
$query  = "SELECT * FROM table WHERE id='$id'....";
$result = mysql_query($query);
while($row=mysql_num_rows($result))
{echo "$row[data]";}  }

So, basically there are many functions that serve different purpose, but have the same exact template as the above, So, to save time, codding I was thinking if is would be possible, to simplify the 5 lines? to one with function like:

function(something here, and here){then the result here?}

Since the only thing that may change from the first code are: Select, table names, id,
and the $row[data], and everything will remain the same what if I assign those to variables and the rest structure will stay as it is in a function:

check this idea.

function simplify() {

$query = "$crud * FROM $table WHERE id= '$id' ";
$result = mysql_query($query);
while($row=mysql_fetch_array($result)) {echo "$row[data]";}


} 

So anytime, I need to create the first code, I could just do

echo simlify(and here would be table name, id, select, create, update...) {

and here the result}

So sorry, for asking this complex question, or asking it with complexity but If anyone has any idea, about what I am talking about, I need your help.

How about this, for a simple database call:

$db = new DBAdapter(array('host' => 'localhost'));
$results = $db->Select('mytable')->Where('id > 2')->Execute();

You can achieve this by building your own database class. Put the class in a separate file and reuse it many times.

class DBAdapter extends PDO
{
  public function __construct( array $params)
  {
     // construct the connection
  }

  public function Select ($table)
  {
    // do stuff for a table select
    return $this;
  }

  public function Count ($table)
  {
    // do stuff for a table count
    return $this;
  }


  public function Where ($condition)
  {
    // do stuff for a where
    return $this;
  }

  public function Execute ()
  {
    // execute stuff
    return $result;
  }
}
