The single ticks in your array() variable is causing the problem.
plus, since you are using single quotes for the entire string, the
variable isn't going to be interpreted as a variable. It will simply
print the string $row['name']
Also, this is the wrong way to use printf(). Please go read the manual
page for this function.
Try:
printf(
'<a href="view.php?name=%s"><b>%s</b><br />%s<br
/><br /></a>',
$row['name'],
$row['name'],
$row['address']
);
This is the correct way to use printf()
