Hi all,

I have a site where users can search study projects. I'd like to be able
to clicks on a project title which passes a variable to this page, which
then displays all the data on that project in a table. Cool - and to a
noob like me, actually pretty exciting. Except it doesn't work.

I get a "couldn't set value of result" message - see end of code. The
page displayed all the projects fine when I messed up passing them from
the previous page, so the problem is presumably in the first SQL query.
Any suggestions?

<?
$connect = mysql_connect("", "", "")
or die("could not connect");
$db = mysql_select_db("")
or die("could not select db");
if (isset($HTTP_GET_VARS['projTitle']))
{
$SQLQuery = "SELECT * FROM project WHERE
projTitle = ".$HTTP_GET_VARS['projTitle']
or die("SQLQuery 1 failed");
}
else
{
$SQLQuery = "SELECT*FROM project ORDER BY projTitle"
or die("SQLQuery 2 failed");
}
$result = mysql_query($SQLQuery,$connect)
or die("couldn't set value of result");

?>

TIA

Paul
