RE: [PHP] Help needed about queries with MySQL, thanks.

I use this query, which must be wrong (but I > cannot find out why !!!) : > > SELECT * FROM sessions WHERE sessionID = $sessionID Although this may or may not help depending on your code (please post it if you still haven't found a solution...it's the best way for us to help. Try SELECT * FROM sessions WHERE sessionID = '$sessionID' Although if $sessionID contains an integer (which I assume is would) the quotes aren't needed, you never know. Some OSes are quirky. Also you may want to add an echo mysql_error(); line after your initial mysql_query to see if perhaps there's a problem with PHP communicating with MySQL. Sincerely, Craig Vincent
