PHP Error

[Mrgames05]

I currently have the PHP level of 2 as my php (in my account)

I receive this error when it ry to go to my website:

Warning: mysql_fetch_array(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in /home/mrgames/public_html/projectext/ext/includes/globals.php on line 6

Here is the source code of my globals.php:

<?php
//in debug mode or not?
$query = 'SELECT * FROM ext_general';
$command = mysql_query ($query);
$result = mysql_fetch_array ($command);
 or die ($db_error);
$debug = $result['debug'];
if ($debug == 1)
{
 $debug = true;
}
else
{
 $debug = false; 
}
//Message shown in register.php
$register_message = "Welcome to Project Extension. Project Extension is currently still under development of iQuest Studios";
//DB Error message
$db_error = mysql_error();
?>

Any suggestions?


(ps... wasn't sure if this was the right section. If not, sorry)

What the error message is telling you is that "mysql_fetch_array" is not a valid function. The rest of the code says that if the code fails, that error message is displayed.

Actually you're highly mistaken.

Warning: mysql_fetch_array(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource

What that error message is saying is the argument passed to mysql_fetch_array is NOT a valid result set returned by mysql_query(<yourqueryhere>).

If the function didn't exist, you'd get something like Error: Call to undefined function mysql_fetch_array() in <path> <filename> line <#>.

That is caused by the query being poorly formatted. Now since the query is so small, it leads to two possibilities:

1) Did you log in and select the proper database with the appropriate mysql commands, cause I don't see anything like that there if you did.

2) Is there even a table named ext_general?


Also brings about a third question:

Why is this in Pre-Signup questions if you've already got an account?

You are missing the semi-color (;) at the end of your query.

Change

$query = 'SELECT * FROM ext_general';

to

$query = 'SELECT * FROM ext_general;';
