Re: Minor Change

did it say which line does the error "Warning: mysql_fetch_assoc(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in" is referring to. if it is referring to the line which contains the function call mysql_query (), dpirago is right, there could be some mistake in the sql statement. running it through the mysql client would definitely verify whether your query is correct or not. dpgirago@mdanderson.org wrote:

Ken: Echo out the query. Check it. Run it from the MySQL client. What does the error message say? Does the table "109fh6" actually exist in the database?

I tried changing # the query to include 109fh7 (a table which doesn't exist) and got the same # result as with 109fh6. Changing to 109fh5 does pull up that table.

You're getting an error, after the query, put: echo mysql_error(); to find out what's happening. On Monday 12 December 2005 11:05 am, kc68@cornell.edu wrote:

I made tiny changes to my php file and sql table and the table won't come up. I updated the table name (and php file name) from 109fh5 to 109fh6. In the table, I changed 6 cells, leaving a couple blank. Then I changed only the digit "5" to make it a "6" (109fh6) in the following: $get_data_query = "select rep, party, state, cd, minority, afr_am, asian, am_indian, hispanic, med_hsehold_income, poverty from 109fh6 order by $sort_field $sort_order"; Now I get "Warning: mysql_fetch_assoc(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in" etc. I've done this many times without a problem (this is the 6th time in this sequence). What could be wrong after such a minor change? Ken
