Hello, I created a page that gets some information from a MySQL database and displays it on a page. The information is selected based on the ID of the row in the database. So, if ...script.php?id=55 it will display the information from submission ID #55. All of that works great, but I am having difficulty sending it to an error page if someone manually enters an ID number that does not exist. For instance script.php?id=7777 Right now I am using if (mysql_num_rows($result)==0) { die (include "/path/to/public_html/errors/no_classes_selected.php"); } Unfortunately it ALWAYS includes that error page, as it seems $result is always equal to 0 even if the ID number is a real entry. For instance, if I take that line out, and an ID that exists is entered, it displays the data fine. If I leave that code in and I use the same ID, it displays the error page. Am I doing this right? <?php // Get required login info include "/path/to/login_info.php"; $db = new mysqli('localhost', $username, $password, $database); // Connect to DB using required login info if($db->connect_errno > 0){ die('Unable to connect to database [' . $db->connect_error . ']'); } unset($username);// put these variables back to null unset($password);// put these variables back to null unset($database);// put these variables back to null date_default_timezone_set('America/Los_Angeles'); // set default time zone PST // ************GET ID FROM URL*********************** $id = (int)$_GET['id']; // this gets the id from the url if($id != '' && $id > 0) { // this checks to make sure that the ID is an integer // ************************************************** $sql = <<<SQL SELECT ft_form_8.*,ft_form_7.* FROM ft_form_7 LEFT JOIN ft_form_8 ON ft_form_8.Instructor=ft_form_7.Instructor WHERE ft_form_7.submission_id=$id SQL; if(!$result = $db->query($sql)){ // if there is an error in running the query, show error message. die('There was an error running the query [' . $db->error .
