Help needed with MySQL

[Dr_JohnM]

I am trying to set up a website and this is what i get when i open it:

Warning: mysql_num_rows(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in /home/jvm/public_html/site/functions.php on line 42

Warning: mysql_num_rows(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in /home/jvm/public_html/site/functions.php on line 50

If anyone knows what is it and can help me fix it that would be great!

Thanks John

The error could be generated a number of ways.

If you are by chance OSCommerce, or a variant, you will see this error pop up when there is nothing in the database. If that is the case, enter a phony customer, order, etc. in order to assure that all tables have some data in them.

It can also mean that your database name, or database username/password are not set up correctly. Basically, you get that error when the script tries to do something with the database (probably selecting rows) and fails completely.
