I think you should include "id," to get the row id

                           ^^^^^^^^^^
If you include id in the query this should read $row_nme[0]

>               $tName = $row_nme[0];
                       ^^^^^^^^^^
If you include id in the query this should read $row_nme[1]
You can retrieve the other fields by using an increasing index (i.e. 
$row_nme[2], $row_nme[3]...)
