Wow, your query is really messed up. SELECT (SELECT COUNT(comment_id) FROM comments WHERE member_id='{$_SESSION['member_id']}') should probably be something like SELECT COUNT(SELECT comment_id FROM comments WHERE member_id='{$_SESSION['member_id']}') And the "base" query doesn't make much sense, for example, there's no FROM statement.

"</P>"); exit(); } Error performing query: You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'LIMIT 1' at line 1 so im going to keep reading hopefully something come up I'm sure the problem is that variable $u is not set. Try it out by signing some value to it before query
