[SOLVED] Beta link sharing site, problem with MySQL table searching

exutable · September 23, 2007

Hey I am having trouble searching through my database where category=$category, it tells me that result isn't a valid MySQL argument but it looks legit to me.

Click on movies and you will find the error on line 71

I know the code is really unorganized sorry.
