Sure - you need to have an extra space at the
end of each line... right now, it comes out like
... status_date, categoryFROM mpn_job ...
... mpn_job_category.IDAND category ...
I often find it useful to echo the query statement
just before using it... it makes mistakes like this
kind of obvious.
Also, if you used
$result = @mysql_query($query)
or die("Error querying: ".mysql_error());
you should get more-useful error messages.
