I think this a lesson to me and anyone else to make more use of mysql_error() in sql statements.
I soon as I saw the Engishized explanation via mysql_error() it was obvious and easy to fix. Note to self: Use mysql_error() as standard ;-) I humbly thank you all for you help.

MySQL says: Mixing of GROUP columns (MIN(),MAX(),COUNT()...) with no GROUP columns is illegal if there is no GROUP BY clause --- Vincent Jansen -----Original Message----- From: Dave Carrera [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: dinsdag 13 januari 2004 13:58 To: 'Richard Davey' Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [PHP] Function Problem (Long-ish) Thanks for the reply Richard. If I use this sql in my func: $sql = mysql_query("select count(fieldtocount) as cnt, sum(fieldforsum) as total from $tab3 where fieldtocompare =\"$varcomparedwith\""); Then all is fine and works as expected. If I then add: $sql = mysql_query("select fieldtoselect, count(fieldtocount) as cnt, sum(fieldforsum) as total from $tab3 where fieldtocompare =\"$varcomparedwith\""); So adding the extra field to select, This dose not work :-( Although in other apps not sql-ing within a func this kind of sql query works. So I am puzzled why and if you or the list can help I would appreciate it.
