Additionally, if that's the real code, the query will never return
anything, because 'approved' will never be equal to '0' ...

He, indeed, sharp eye. Backticks, single quotes, aargh :-)

Yes, it is real code. After you said it wouldn't work, I went back
and tried again. It works this time (no 0 return). I still don't
understand why I am getting the error:

Warning: mysql_query(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL-Link
resource in /home/smith/public_html/addressbook/ab_functions.php on
line 95
Query failed:

I am using the same code in another functions page and it works. This
one works:

function adminApprovalNeeded ($connect, $db_table8)
{
$sql = "SELECT * FROM $db_table8 WHERE approved != '1'";
$result = mysql_query ($sql, $connect) or die ('Query failed:
' .mysql_error());
$approved = mysql_num_rows($result);
echo "Directory - You have $approved entries waiting for approval.";
}

This one doesn't work:

function adminApprovalNeeded ($connect, $db_table4)
{
$sql = "SELECT * FROM $db_table4 WHERE 'approved' != '1'";
$result = mysql_query ($sql, $connect) or die ('Query failed:
' .mysql_error());
$approved = mysql_num_rows($result);
echo "Address Book - You have $approved entries waiting for
approval.";
}

They are on seperate pages so they do not cause conflict with each
other. Please !

Don't use Google Groups. It was crap to begin with, and even shittier the
last several days. Use a real NNTP server & client, and the speed & user
comfort will be amazing.

Then again, delays are part of usenet.
