First, this function is depricated - it may be time to learn about MySQLi or other something more modern in the PHP world.

Second, take a look here:
http://php.net/manual/en/function.mysql-fetch-array.php

You should be passing ($selcat, FLAG), as $selcat is the "resource" it is expecting (i.e, the result of a query).

For more clarity, look at example #2 in the link above.

Good luck!
