I am trying to get to grips with managing data in mysql, am am currentky
working on deleting records

I have worked through a turorial - no problems, but now I am trying to apply
it to my own database, I am getting the error
Warning: Supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in .... on
line 14

I cannot see what is causing it - if anyone can it would be much
appreciated.

thanks

Nathan

For clarity/brevity I have cut the page back to what i beleive to be the
relivant part. Code for page is:-

<html>

<body>

<?php

$db = mysql_connect("localhost", "username", "pasword");

mysql_select_db("catalogue",$db);


    $result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM SECTIONS",$db);

    while ($myrow = mysql_fetch_array($result)) {

      printf("<a href=\"%s?section_id=%s\">%s %s</a> \n", $PHP_SELF,
$myrow["section_id"], $myrow["section_name"], $myrow["section"]);

   printf("<a href=\"%s?id=%s&delete=yes\">(DELETE)</a><br>", $PHP_SELF,
$myrow["section_id"]);

    }


  ?>



</body>

</html>


SQL for the table is

CREATE TABLE SECTIONS (
   section_name varchar(25) NOT NULL,
   section_id tinyint(3) unsigned DEFAULT '0' NOT NULL auto_increment,
   section char(1) NOT NULL,
   PRIMARY KEY (section_id),
   UNIQUE section (section_name, section_id, section)
