Hi there,
The error that you are getting indicates that your query is either invalid or the result set that it returns is empty. Just double check that your SQL statement run correctly on your phpMyAdmin or other SQL command panel, and that there is data in the database.

Additionally,

echo $row = mysql_fetch_array($result);

Will always print "array()", since $row is always an array object.
Use the following instead:

$row = mysql_fetch_array($result);
echo "<pre>";
print_r($row);
echo "</pre>";

thanks again for your help
