I'm getting the following error msgs for challenge 4-g and I have no idea why...

The comments are going into my database AND they are posting to the page after submitted. But - these errors come up before you fill out the form and submit:

Warning: mysql_query(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL-Link resource in /f1/content/rocksteadyvybes/public/soup2.php on line 76

Warning: mysql_fetch_array(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in /f1/content/rocksteadyvybes/public/soup2.php on line 80


How do I get rid of them? I checked the code on both lines and nothing!

My line 76: $result = mysql_query($sql,$db);
My line 80: while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) {

Yeah...I've clearly been failing in trying to define the variables. Will try this out...thanks for the tips and response!

I've been working on this 1 challenge for about 3.5 hours only to get smacked with crazy validation errors that I don't understand. I tried googling and hitting up some forums, but neither have helped.

On my HTML file, I'm getting Validation errors that read:

Error Line 65, Column 6: end tag for "form" omitted, but OMITTAG NO was specified.



You may have neglected to close an element, or perhaps you meant to "self-close" an element, that is, ending it with "/>" instead of ">".

Error Line 65, Column 7: XML Parsing Error: Opening and ending tag mismatch: form line 54 and body.



Note: I get the same 2 errors for my html tag.
Also note: My php file was written using the very same template, and that file checked out as 100% golden. So I'm left being way confused, because my tags are fine. I've double, triple, and quadruple checked them. I don't get why this file isn't checking out ok.

I'm trying to set everything up, but Firefox will NOT let me add the Diigo Toolbar or Firebug. I keep getting this:

Firefox could not install the file at

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/downloads/file/44490/firebug-1.3.0-fx.xpi

because: Unexpected installation error
Review the Error Console log for more details.
-203

I have no idea what's broken or how to fix it... =/ Anyone run into this or know how to fix it? I'm using Firefox 3.0.

Awesome. Got it! Thanks for the quick response. Had to rename some of the Firefox extensions and restart a bajillion times, but I have both add-ons working now. Thanks again!
