You haven't thorougly read my message, about 4/5 lines down i have said "(yes it is included in a script that connects to the database i am using)"
:)
i have another script that calls this function script, and at the top of it, it calls a script that contains my connection information.
I have tested it with other queries that work... and there is no problem, i am definately connected to the database

Hello,
You have forgotten to connect :) This error occurs when the $result variable is false and it is not a resource (database query) id.
Tibor
PS: for any db: $conn_id = connect(...); $result_id = query($conn_id, ....); $row = fetch($result_id);
