I am pretty sure that the query is correct. here is the actual query:
$query="select distinct(nodeid), nodename from books where
bookid=$bookid";
$result=mysql_query($query);
$num_results=mysql_num_rows($result);
Advertising
I have loaded a book into the tabel called "books". I have gave each
section a nodeid and each book a bookid. SO i wanted to get number of
distinct nodeid's (i.e. sections) in the book so that i could use a for loop
to display all of them and an inner for loop to display each page under each
section.
The funny thing is that if i write the same query without "where
bookid=$bookid" then the mysql_num_rows works but with where statement it
doesn't.
By the way the web hoster i am using has PHP Version 4.0.6 .
Thanks.

It would help if we could see the actual query. It sounds like the problem
is a syntax error in the query itself.
