valid MySQL result resource

Here is another error I'm getting while trying to view my db. I copied and pasted these statements from a pdf file I'm using to learn PHP but they keep creating errors. I am writing all your tips into my notes to try to keep my questioning to a minimal. Warning: mysql_fetch_array(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in /home/xxxxxxx/public_html/Info/viewdb.php on line 8 <HTML> <?php $db = mysql_connect('localhost', 'xxxxx', 'xxxxxxx'); mysql_select_db('learndb',$db); $result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM personnel",$db); echo "<TABLE>"; echo"<TR><TD><B>Full Name</B><TD><B>Nick Name</B><TD><B>Salary</B></TR>"; while ($myrow = mysql_fetch_array($result)) { echo "<TR><TD>"; echo $myrow["firstname"]; echo " "; echo $myrow["lastname"]; echo "<TD>"; echo $myrow["nick"]; echo "<TD>"; echo $myrow["salary"]; } echo "</TABLE>"; ?> </HTML> -- Thanks ______________________________ Brent Lee
