php/mysql error message

Hello,

I'm getting this error message:

Warning: mysql_fetch_array(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in /homepages/28/d229406558/htdocs/index.php on line 98

the site is www.the3mediators.com

I've attached the home page code.

Thanks!

<?php
include('includeme.php');
$errors = array();
if (isset($_POST["name"]))
{
$_SESSION['name']=$_POST['name'];
if(isset($_POST['email'])) 
$_SESSION['email']=$_POST['email'];
 
if(isset($_POST['category'])) 
$_SESSION['category']=$_POST['category'];
 
if(isset($_POST['city'])) 
$_SESSION['city']=$_POST['city'];
 
if(isset($_POST['question'])) 
$_SESSION['question']=$_POST['question'];
 
if(empty($_SESSION['name']))
$errors[] = "Please enter your name";
 
if (!preg_match("/^([a-zA-Z0-9])+@([a-zA-Z0-9_-])+(\.[a-zA-Z0-9_-]+)+/", $_SESSION['email']))
            {
               $errors[] = "Please enter valid email address.";
            }  
 
if(empty($_SESSION['city']))
$errors[] = "Please enter your city";
 
if(empty($_SESSION['question']))
$errors[] = "Please enter your question";
 
if (count($errors)==0)
{
header("Location:confirmation2.php");
exit();
}
}

Hi!

Change line 98 to
$row3=mysql_fetch_array($result3,MYSQL_NUM);

this
$query3="SELECT welcome from pages";
$result3= mysql_query($query3);
$row3=mysql_fetch_array($result3);
echo $row3[0];
is not how mysql_fetch_array() was intended for.
It's is for looping through to get the values from the database
$query3="SELECT welcome from pages";
$result3= mysql_query($query3);
while ($row3=mysql_fetch_array($result3)) {
echo $row3['0'];
}

if you want to do it without looping

$query3="SELECT welcome from pages";
$result3= mysql_query($query3);
$row3= mysql_result($result3, 0, "welcome");
echo $row3;
