Question

Every time I try to run my script I get this error, saying that mysql_num_rows(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource. I’m not quite sure why its doing this. My goal is to get it to check to see if the client who logs in is an admin.

<?php
    session_start();
    $username = $_POST['username'];
    $password = $_POST['password'];

    if ($username&&$password)
    {

    $user = $_SESSION['user'];
    //connect
    $connect = mysql_connect("localhost","*******_robert","***********") or die ("Couldn't Connect"); //host,username,password
    mysql_select_db("virtua15_gateway") or die ("Could not find database");
    //query
    $get = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM Users WHERE username='$user'");
    $numrows = mysql_num_rows($query);
    if ($numrows!=0)
    {
        while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($query))
        {
                $dbusername = $row['username'];
                $dbpassword = $row['password'];
        }
        if ($username==$dbusername&&$password==$dbpassword)
        {
         header( 'Location: index2.php' );
         $_SESSION['username']=$dbusername;
        }
        else
            echo "incorrect username and password";
    }
       else
         die ("This user does not exist");

    }
    else
        die("Please enter a username and a password");


    while($get = mysql_fetch_assoc($get))

{
 $admin = $row['admin'];
}
if ($admin==0)
 die ("You are not and admin!");
header('Location: index2.php')

?>

Answer 1

$get = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM Users WHERE username='$user'");
$numrows = mysql_num_rows($query);

So, is it $get or $query?
