The following fails: function sqlquery ($query) { return mysql_query ($query); } If I do: $results = sqlquery ("SELECT bla"); mysql_num_rows($results); it says thats $results is not a ressource handler. The following works fine though: function sqlquery ($query) { $rs = mysql_query ($query); return $rs; } Looks like that there is some operation done when storing the ressource handler into a variable, which can't be performed when you do something with the results instead of storing it. (Of course sqlquery() does nothing usefull here, I needed to do some other task in it in my script which I did not include for simplicity) -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.mysql-query.php http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+26484 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+26484 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+26484
