For 2023 (and 2024 ...) - we are now fully retired from IT training.
We have made many, many friends over 25 years of teaching about Python, Tcl, Perl, PHP, Lua, Java, C and C++ - and MySQL, Linux and Solaris/SunOS too. Our training notes are now very much out of date, but due to upward compatability most of our examples remain operational and even relevant ad you are welcome to make us if them "as seen" and at your own risk.

Lisa and I (Graham) now live in what was our training centre in Melksham - happy to meet with former delegates here - but do check ahead before coming round. We are far from inactive - rather, enjoying the times that we are retired but still healthy enough in mind and body to be active!

I am also active in many other area and still look after a lot of web sites - you can find an index ((here))
mysql_fetch_array(): argument is not a valid

Posted by warmwhisky (warmwhisky), 24 October 2005
Hello

Can anyone tell me if the below php/mysql statement is wrong? When I run it on my server it gives me the error mysql_fetch_array(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource.
I have googled this problem to find out that i can put the '@' sign in front of mysql_fetch_array. This blocks the error out but still does not print out the variable I want it to! When I googled it I found so many errors the same. But none help me out!
The sql code works fine in phpmyadmin.
And I have checked the case on the text over and over.
My eyes are hurting from looking at the screen! Had to change my monitor background from blue to black!

Any ideas? I really am stuck with this!


$query = ("SELECT *
FROM cringeitwebsitequote
ORDER BY `__id` DESC
LIMIT 1 ");
while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($query)) {
      $hosting = ( $row[hosting]); {
      $pages = ( $row[pages]); {
      $forms = ( $row[forms]); {
      $cart = ( $row[cart]); {
      $products = ( $row[products]); {
      $logo = ( $row[logo]); {
      $flash = ( $row[flash]); {
      $dhtml = ( $row[dhtml]); {
      $statistics = ( $row[statistics]); {
      }}}}}}}}}}

Well I cant believe that I wasted 3 maybe 4 hours burning my eyes when all i missed was 'mysql_query' from the sql query!!!

I posted the same question in 2 other forums too!!!

WOW!! how one can miss the most obvious thing!

Just a belated note - all those curly braces aren't needed - just the outer set ....
