Hi All- Im new to PHP (and posting to forums) but really need some assistance w/ this code. This is a 3rd party code and i'm trying to create a registration page on my site. The problem is that I keep getting the following error:
****
An error occurred in script '/homepages/11/d123456789/htdocs/mywebsite/login/register.php' on line 58: mysql_num_rows(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource
****
I've been dealing w/ other line errors in the code but this one is giving me issues. If I need to post additional info, please let me know.
Thanks in advance!!!!
