Just a shot in the dark here, but: >> $result = mysql_query($query) or die ('Query failed, MySQL says: >> '.mysql_error().' in '.__FILE__.' line '.__LINE__) >> $num = mysql_num_rows($result); It seems that you have forgotten the semicolon at the end of the $result line which would treat the $num = ... line as part of the $result statement. Does adding a semicolon to the end of the $result line fix the problem? Seems to me PHP should be reporting a parse error or something, but who knows? My two cents.
