my mistake, as it turns out i was using depreciated code to attempt to write information to the tables, the error was corrected by the following: $query=sprintf("querystring"); thanks for the help! and Larry I am quite comfortable with php but I do have a condition that sometimes keeps me from completing a thought, I have failed at much less! Great book by the way!

I did run phpMyAdmin and the data tables are in tact should display the information all the login info has been tested ran a similar dummy code with success wrote new tables and re-wrote the code for a second time

I'm getting this error when trying to create the category links in part two in the dynamics of the footer.html file: An error occurred in the script '/hermes/bosweb/web037/b372/ipg.mbenavides/testing/INCLUDES/footer.html' on 43: Array ( [0] => Array ( [function] => my_error_handler [args] => Array ( [0] => 2 [1] => mysqli_fetch_array() expects parameter 1 to be mysqli_result, boolean given this is the code I'm using per the book: <?php $q = 'SELECT * FROM categories ORDER BY category'; $r = mysqli_query($dbc, $q); while (list($id, $category) = mysqli_fetch_array($r, MYSQLI_NUM)) { echo '<li><a href="category.php?id=' . $id . '" title="' . $category . '">' . $category . '</a></li>'; } ?> I have tried a ton of stuff to correct this, any suggestions?
