I have done the following to my code hoping that the fix would work $query1 = mysql_query("SELECT months FROM Month WHERE m_id = month(curdate())"); //echo $query1 . "<br />"; $query1_data = mysql_fetch_assoc($query1); echo $query1_data . "<br />"; returns Array (The word that is) switch ($query1_data) { I also outputted $query2 = mysql_query("SELECT dayNum FROM Days WHERE dayNum = day(curdate())"); echo $query2 . "<br />"; and I got an empty string This is the code that I use when I call the function $month = $this->determineMonth(); //echo $month . "<br />"; $Month_query = mysql_query($month); //echo mysql_error() . "<br />"; while ($x = mysql_fetch_assoc($Month_query)) { $form .="<option value={$x["m_id"]}>{$x["months"]}</option>\n"; } And according to my apache error log I have [Mon Mar 27 11:34:42 2006] [error] [client 192.168.0.2] PHP Warning: mysql_fetch_assoc(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in C:\\Program Files\\Apache Group\\Apache2\\htdocs\\validation.php on line 130 [Mon Mar 27 11:34:42 2006] [error] [client 192.168.0.2] PHP Warning: mysql_fetch_assoc(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in C:\\Program Files\\Apache Group\\Apache2\\htdocs\\validation.php on line 342 By the way I tested the SQL statements in MYSQL and they returned the values I was looking for. What am I missing? At the time of this email I was unable to check the php docs at php.net.
