i don't know if this is enough you to help me but looking at this could you tell me what i could do to fix it?
$user_check = mysql_query("SELECT userdb_user_name FROM default_userdb WHERE userdb_user_name='$reciever'");
$user_check = mysql_num_rows($user_check);

Your query did not execute.
at least add this check after the $user_check line:
if (!$user_check) {
die('Invalid query: ' . mysql_error());
}You may want to try to pass a valid mysql connection link as a second argument to mysql_query function
This should be the result of your mysql_connect() function.
how ould i do this You may want to try to pass a valid mysql connection link as a second argument to mysql_query function

Carefully :)
Just kidding.
Well, how do you connect to mysql database? Do you have the mysql_connect() function anywhere in your code?
lol
yes i do but not in the same one but connection work. because before this it checks that if the user loged in. this is suppose to check when the loged in user is trying to send a pm to an other user if user name exist in the datebase but keep getting error, it is not finding the user even thogh that user exist.
Ok, then after the first
$user_check
add this line and see what mysql complains about:
if (!$user_check) {
die('Invalid query: ' . mysql_error());
}my main error is this
'That username does not exist, please try again. Remember to check your spelling, and don\'t make stuff up at random.';
and then the warning i gave in the previuos post.
i don't know where i should put that. i think i have something like that and it passes. but just don't find the user to send when there.
here is the code, maybe this make more sense.
<?php
session_start();
$user = $_SESSION['username'];
$reciever = $_REQUEST['reciever'];
include 'db.php';
//This checks to see if a user is logged in or not by seeing if the sessioned username varialble exists.
//You could change this check to however you want to validate your members, this is just how I did it.
if(!$user)
{
echo "<br><p>Blah blah you arent logged in and stuff, you should do that or something</p><br>";
}
else
{
//Query the database to see how many messages the logged in user has, then do a little math
//Find the percentage that your inbox is full (message count divided by 50)
//50 messages maximum, you can change that
$sql = mysql_query ("SELECT pm_count FROM default_userdb WHERE userdb_user_name='$user'");
$row = mysql_fetch_array ($sql);
$pm_count = $row['pm_count'];
//This is the math to figure out the percentage.
//The message could divided by 50 then multiplied by 100 so we dont have a number less than 1
$percent = $pm_count/'50';
$percent = $percent * '100';

Put this:
if (!$user_check) {
die('Invalid query: ' . mysql_error());
}in between this:
$user_check = mysql_query("SELECT userdb_user_name FROM default_userdb WHERE userdb_user_name='$reciever'");and this:
$user_check = mysql_num_rows($user_check);and tell us what is displayed.
here it is
Invalid query: Table 'newokul_1.default_userdb' doesn't existdefault_userdb exist on newokul_1 database
thank you very much for the help i checked the name again and miss spelled and it works now, i was doing it all day and missed a letter. many thanks
