[SOLVED] Fatal Error ...?

[Gem]

Hiya ..

 

I'm getting an error but I dont know why. This code works on another page and all I did was change the names of the table and columns?!

 

Any ideas??

 

The table is sn_articles and columns: sn_id, sn_title, sn_subtitle, sn_article.

Thanks

Error: PHP Fatal error: SQL in d:\webspace\bradleystokejudoclub.co.uk\wwwroot\specialneeds\news.php on line 189

 

I think line 189 is:

// get the info from the db 
$sql = "SELECT sn_title, sn_subtitle, sn_article FROM sn_articles ORDER BY ID DESC LIMIT $offset, $rowsperpage";
$result = mysql_query($sql, $conn) or trigger_error("SQL", E_USER_ERROR);

Your query is failing. Change this

$result = mysql_query($sql, $conn) or trigger_error("SQL", E_USER_ERROR);

to

$result = mysql_query($sql, $conn) or trigger_error("SQL Error: ".mysql_error(), E_USER_ERROR);

Thank you - new error:

 

PHP Fatal error: SQL Error: Unknown column 'ID' in 'order clause' in d:\webspace\bradleystokejudoclub.co.uk\wwwroot\specialneeds\news.php on line 189

MySQL cannot find the column ID within your sn_articles table. You made sure you're using the correct column

oh yeh i see the problem lol ... its the ORDER BY id .. the column is sn_id

 

Thanks Mate xxx
