Anyone ever have the experience of working on a site, working with MySQL and
then having something almost inexplicable happen?

I was working on a script, and had this weird event.  A very simple script
with this:

mysql_connect("localhost","user","pass");
mysql_select_db("dbname")
    or die("Query Connection Database failed");
$old=date("z")-1;
mysql_query("DELETE FROM Users WHERE Date < $old");

$cartquery = mysql_query("SELECT CartItemsID,Date FROM CartItems")
        or die("Query failed");
$cartnow  = mysql_query($cartquery);
$cr=0;
$cartme = mysql_num_rows($cartnow);  <<<<this is the line that is failing!
while ($cr < $cartme){
$cartrow=mysql_fetch_row($cartnow);
$CII=$cartrow[0];
$CDa=$cartrow[1];
$pieces=explode(":",$CDa);
$DCHK=$pieces[1];
if ($DCHK < $old) {
mysql_query("DELETE FROM CartItems WHERE CartItemsID = '$CII'");
        }
}

Started spitting this error at me:

Warning: Supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in (exact
location snipped)

This is the line containing mysql_num_rows that is getting this error.

Someone please tell me I'm missing something obvious!  Yes, the connects to
MySQL database are fine.  I can run the query right in phpMyAdmin with no
issues.

If mysql_num_rows returns 0, or empty, it shouldn't be complaining, should
it?  It would just skip the loop, correct?

Thanks,

-Mike
