php mysql query issues

[NigelRen]

One thing which will probably cause odd results is
//get category descriptions

Code: Select all

$categories_description_results = mysql_query("SELECT `categories_id`, `categories_name` FROM `categories_description` WHERE `categories_id` = '$categories_results[categories_id]'") or die(mysql_error());

When you want to access the results of a query - you have to use quotes round the name of the field - which is what you did later, but not in this query. Try changing it to something like
//get category descriptions

Code: Select all

$categories_description_results = mysql_query("SELECT `categories_id`, `categories_name` FROM `categories_description` WHERE `categories_id` = '".$categories_results['categories_id']."'") or die(mysql_error());
