Description: Hi, I have moved my website to the newer version of MySQL 5.0.87 from the older one which was 4.1.20. Also,the newer PhpMyAdmin is 3.2.4 whereas the old one was 2.6.4 I get the following warning as Warning: mysql_num_rows(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in /home/labexpre/public_html/w_show_categories.php on line 16. Here's the code that shows the warning: function getCategoriesArray($parent_id,$level=0){ $categories = array(); $ct = 0; $cquery = "select categories.categories_id,categories_description.categories_name from categories,categories_description "; $cquery .= "where categories.parent_id = $parent_id and categories.categories_id = categories_description.categories_id"; $cresult = mysql_query($cquery); $px = $level * 20; if(mysql_num_rows($cresult)>0){ while($r = mysql_fetch_array($cresult)){ $categories_id = $r['categories_id']; if($parent_id>0) $categories_id = $parent_id."_".$categories_id; $categories_string = '<li style="margin-left:'.$px.'px">'; $categories_string .= '<a href="'; $categories_string .= 'products.php?cPath=' . $categories_id . '">'; $categories_string .= $r['categories_name']; $categories_string .= '</a>'; $categories_string .= '</li>'; $categories_string .= "\n"; $categories[$ct]['string'] = $categories_string; $categories[$ct]['subcategories'] = getCategoriesArray($categories_id,$level+1); $ct++; } } return $categories; I have tried to use the following code but it did not solve the problem. $cresult = mysql_query($cquery) or die('Query failed: ' . mysql_error() . "<br />\n$cquery"); How to repeat: The code works fine on the older version(4.1.20) of MySQL but when I move it to the newer version(5.0.87),i get the warning message.
