The following code fragment works properly, in that I get the output I'm expecting. However, if I don't disable error messages with @, I get an error message from PHP saying: "Warning: Supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in /var/www/htdocs/cgcm/test2.php on line 9." How can the resource be invalid if I'm getting the results back? I'd appreciate any explaination. $connection_id = @mysql_connect ('localhost', 'root') or die('No connection.'); $database_id = @mysql_select_db ('cgcms', $connection_id) or die('No connection.'); ... $result_id = @mysql_query("DESC $table_name $field_name"); $row = mysql_fetch_array($result_id); # This is line 9 -- Todd A.
