BlueSkyIS Posted December 22, 2010 Share Posted December 22, 2010 i suggest that you expand the code that does database interaction, and check for errors after executing SQL, so it is easier to figure out what's wrong. example: $sql = "SELECT * FROM sometable"; $result = mysql_query($sql) or die(mysql_error(). " IN $sql"); while ($an_array = mysql_fetch_array($result)) { // etc.... the problem is probably that a SQL query is failing, but the code doesn't check to see if the SQL is failing, so you get the error you posted.
