Hi! I'm trying to learn PHP but as proceed with tutorials I encounter more and more problems. and I'm not sure if they are arising from my mistakes because I just rewrite very simple tutorial excerisies.
I get this two errors when I load table1.php in my browser:
Warning: mysql_num_rows(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in C:\wamp\www\table1.php on line 11
Warning: mysql_fetch_array(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in C:\wamp\www\table1.php on line 25
I have created those three FIles :
createmovie.php - when i load it in browser i get "Movie database successfully created!" so no problem seems to be here
<?php
//create the main database if it doesn't already exist
$create = mysql_query("CREATE DATABASE IF NOT EXISTS moviesite")
or die(mysql_error());
//make sure taht recently made databse is the active one

//create movie table
