    If you have phpMyAdmin installed on that server, J, try using the
"search" tab to see if you can find that user/email combination in the
database using = and not LIKE.

    Perhaps there's a whitespace or something of the like that's
causing it to return zero rows.

    Also, try doing this after the $result = mysql_query($sql); line:

        die("Number of rows returned by MySQL: ".mysql_num_rows($result));
