s0c0 Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 This is what you want to do, echo our your sql query to the screen and run it directly. I think one of the problems in your sample of code there is that in your sql query you are not doing it like this: $getthreads = "SELECT * FROM forumtutorial_posts WHERE parentid='0' and forumid= '[b]$_GET[forumid][/b]' ORDER BY realtime DESC"; I'm anal and so I put all mysql keywords in caps, but the main part in there is the '$_GET[forumid]' Echoing your sql query is a to the screen and making sure that runs correctly is a good first step though, then you can move on to other portions of your code.
