mysql_fetch_assoc(): problem in the news/comments tutorial

Original - php Code if ($all == 0) { /* this query is for up to $max_items */ $query = "SELECT id,title,newstext," . "DATE_FORMAT(postdate, '%Y-%m-%d') as date " . "FROM news ORDER BY postdate DESC LIMIT $max_items"; } else { /* this query will get all news */ $query = "SELECT id,title,newstext," . "DATE_FORMAT(postdate, '%Y-%m-%d') as date " . "FROM news ORDER BY postdate DESC"; } $result = mysql_query ($query); while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc ($result)) { /* line 29 ^ this is causing the error*/ echo "<TABLE border="1" width="300">n"; /* place table row data in * easier to use variables. * Here we also make sure no * HTML tags, other than the * ones we want are displayed */ $date = $row['date']; $title = htmlentities ($row['title']); $news = nl2br (strip_tags ($row['newstext'], '<a><b><i><u>'));

 
    if ($all == 0) {
        /* this query is for up to $max_items */
        $query = "SELECT id,title,newstext," .
