    <p>I've read the other questions. The error has been posted before ofcourse. It's a common error. How/Why I am getting the errror is unique. Not a duplicate.</p> <p>I know this error message has been posted on before but not with my specific set of complications. I have recently put a site together on my local server using xammp. Everything worked properly before on my local machine before i uploaded. I have encountered at-least 8 new problems after uploading to my web host but have been able to fix each one. 3 of which with the help of this site. I believe I will have it completed after this error is fixed.</p> <p>The issue is with my advert rotating system. It's a very simple script/system. There are 4 database for the 4 separate places on the page i have the rotating adverts. this is the second one i am attempting to put on the live site. I've already got the first one working with no error. The error on this one is on line 5</p> <p>Any ideas? As always thanks a bunch!</p> <p>Full Error:</p> <pre><code>Warning: mysql_fetch_assoc() expects parameter 1 to be resource, boolean given in /home/xxxxxx/public_html/includes/adverts/sidead1.php on line 5 </code></pre> <p>Part of the code below:</p> <pre><code>&lt;?php include '../includes/core/db/sidead1_dbinfo.php'; $ads = mysql_query("SELECT `advert_id1`, `title1`, `desc1`, `image1` FROM `sidead1` WHERE UNIX_TIMESTAMP() &lt; `expires1` AND `shown1`=0 ORDER BY `advert_id1` ASC LIMIT 1"); while ($ads_row = mysql_fetch_assoc($ads)) { $advert_id1 = $ads_row['advert_id1']; $image1 = $ads_row['image1']; $title1 = $ads_row['title1']; $desc1 = $ads_row['desc1']; mysql_query("UPDATE `sidead1` SET `shown1`=1, `impressions1`=`impressions1`+1 WHERE `advert_id1`=$advert_id1"); $shown1 = mysql_query("SELECT COUNT('advert_id1') FROM `sidead1` WHERE `shown1`=0"); if (mysql_result($shown1, 0) == 0) { mysql_query("UPDATE `sidead1` SET `shown1`=0"); } } ?&gt; </code></pre>

    2. COI looked at the answer but I do not understand it, sorry. Could you be more specific on how I should implement that? I should say rather, I am really new this all of this.

    3. COI see this type of question all the time, you should read [common database debugging for PHP and MySQL](http://jason.pureconcepts.net/2013/04/common-debugging-php-mysql/).

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

SQuiL has stopped working due to an internal error.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
