syntax issues???

I keep getting :

Warning: mysql_fetch_array(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in /home/edsa55/public_html/regist.php on line 67

below are lines 63 - 75.. I'm at a loss.. any coaching would be appreciated.

Thanks!!

<?
unset($value, $error);
if ($email!=NULL) {
if ($email==$email2) {
$a=mysql_fetch_array(mysql_query("SELECT * FROM users where user='$email'"));
if ($a[user]==NULL) {
$value="disabled=true value=\"$email\"";
echo "<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"email\" value=\"$email\">";
echo "<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"email2\" value=\"$email\">";
$vcxz++;
} else $error="e-Mail allredy taken";
} else $error="e-Mails do not match";
}
?>

Check that your query is returning anything...
Try using the query in MySQL directly (via command line)...
Oftne the reason is that $email is empty.

An easy way to debug:

PHP Code:


		
			
 $sql = "SELECT * FROM users where user='$email'";

$result = mysql_query($sql) or die ("ERROR ".mysql_errno().": ".mysql_error()." <br>\nQuery: ".$sql);

 $a=mysql_fetch_array($result);
