It has to do with the index act but I can't figure it out.

Answer : I"m getting an undefined index error message on this script.

Run this query in your fav mysql query tool:

SELECT * FROM requests limit 1;

Now, match up the column names, CASE-sensitive, against these lines

<td><?php echo $qry['ID']; ?></td>
<td><?php echo $qry['date']; ?></td>
<td><?php echo $qry['from']; ?></td>
<td><?php echo $qry['subject']; ?></td>
<td><?php echo nl2br($qry['message']); ?></td>
<td><a href="?act=edit&id=<?php echo $qry['ID']; ?>">Edit</a></td>

Specifically, "ID", "date", "from", "subject", "message"
php/mysql_fetch_assoc is case sensitive
