#1: this is an extremely insecure way to do things, but let’s move on.

 

#2: Print out those session variables on the two lines above, so you can verify 
the vaues of them.

 

Also, print out the $sql variable.

 

 

Then you’ll have three strings to debug with on each entry, so you can verify 
it does or does not work.

 

#3: Once you have the $sql string, just type that into mysql, via copy/paste, 
and see if it returns what you want.

 

Hope this helps

 

Take care,

Sina

Subject: mysql query not working

 

Hi,
I keep not getting what I am expecting.  I enter data I know is in the database 
and still get an error.  Can someone tell me if there is something wrong with 
this bit of code?
$sql = "SELECT * FROM members WHERE email_address = '" . $_SESSION["email"] . 
"' AND pass_word = '" . $_SESSION["psswd"] . "'";
$row = mysql_fetch_assoc($sql);
Thanks
