The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

The Grade of the Solution
The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
The Number of Author and Expert Comments
The Number of Experts Contributing
The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Warning: mysql_num_rows() expects parameter 1 to be resource....

Asked by seeminglylost in MySQL Server, PHP Scripting Language

I am creating a simple login page using php and MySQL. I am new at this and cannot figure out why I am getting this error:

Warning: mysql_num_rows() expects parameter 1 to be resource, null given in RegisterUser.php on line 53

Unable to execute the query.

Error code 0:

Code that is being referenced is:
[code]
if (mysql_num_rows($QueryResult) > 0) {
[/code]

I am using xampp by apache friends 1.7.2. I have dumped my database and table several times. Everything appears to be as it should but I don't know where I am going wrong.

My table info is:

SQL result

Host: localhost
Database: songorganizer
Generation Time: Nov 07, 2009 at 01:35 AM
Generated by: phpMyAdmin 3.2.0.1 / MySQL 5.1.37
SQL query: show create table registered_users;
Rows: 1
Table registered_users
Create Table
CREATE TABLE `registered_users` (
`ID` smallint(6) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
`email` varchar(40) DEFAULT NULL,
`password` varchar(10) DEFAULT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (`ID`)
) ENGINE=MyISAM DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1

Any ideas where it is that I am going wrong??
