Alex & Company,

I hope that this is the correct area for suggestions. I was getting the "Can't call method "fetchrow_array" error so I searched the forum looking for answers. I found a few, then checked out the code, seemed ok. The bottomline is that the MYSQL connection at the ISP was down.

Is it possible (or even a good idea) to check to make sure the DB is connected before some functions. I checked a lot of areas and the error messages are very vague and confusing, even though they all relate to the DB not connecting.

I'm not sure if the overhead is too much or what. I'm still learnig this stuff.

Also, how do you set up the User Types? I've been a novice forever and I think I'm one stem above that now.

Thanks as usual.
