*SOLVED* Mysql_num_rows() function error

[meamrussian]

I am building a project and learning PHP/MySQL at the same time. Here is my code:

$query = "SELECT suite, title, category, our_url FROM business ORDER BY category ASC";
$result = mysql_query($query);
$num_results = mysql_num_rows($result);

<table width="100%">
<tr><td width="63"><u>Suite</u></td><td><u>Business</u></td><td><u>Category</u></td><td>
<u>Link</u></td></tr>
<?
for ($i=0; $i <$num_results; $i++)
{
$row = mysql_fetch_array($result);
echo "<tr><td>";
echo htmlspecialchars(stripslashes($row["suite"]));
echo "</td><td>";
echo htmlspecialchars(stripslashes($row["title"]));
echo "</td><td>";
echo htmlspecialchars(stripslashes($row["category"]));
echo "</td><td>";
echo htmlspecialchars(stripslashes($row["our_url"]));
echo "</td></tr>";
}
?>
</table>




I am getting the following error:
=====
Warning: mysql_num_rows(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in [b]my directory[/b] on line 47
=====

I have already connected to my database. I am using PHP 4.

Also, even if I try to replace mysql_num_rows($result) with "2" , I get the same errors except with mysql_fetch_array(): . Why is this happening?

Thanks.

That error means the mysql_query is not working correctly.

Replace [code]<?php $result = mysql_query($query); ?>[/code] with [code]<?php $result = mysql_query($query) or die('Problem with query: ' . $query . '<br />' . mysql_error()); ?>[/code] and see if an error message appears on your screen.

Ah, I've figured out my problem now.
