[snip] :) Tried that: [/snip] Let's be more verbose and see what happens.... if(!($myconnection = mysql_pconnect($server,$user,$pass))){ print("Failed to connect to database!\n"); exit(); } if(!mysql_select_db($db,$myconnection)){ print("Failed to select database!\n"); exit(); } $query = "select StudentId from" . $table . "where StudentID = '" . $StudentID . "' "; if(!($news = mysql_query($query, $myconnection))){ print("ERROR! " . mysql_error() . "\n"); exit(); } $howmany = mysql_num_rows($news); echo "$howmany \n"; if ($howmany == 1){ include ("/the/full/path/to/html/access_error.htm"); } else { include ("/the/full/path/to/html/registration.htm"); } It is my guess that your query is failing, so $news is not a valid resource. Anytime you do a query you should also do a mysql_error() statement so that a better clue might be printed out.
