This means that: $res = mysql_query( $sql ) ; is failing with a SQL error, so $res is not being set to a valid MySQL result resource, so that when you execute: if (list($row) = mysql_fetch_array($res)) { The mysql_fetch_array() complains with the error you have seen. After any database operation, you should check for failure and echo out any error message -- see mysql_errno() (http://php.net/mysql_errno) and mysql_error() (http://php.net/mysql_error). Cheers!
