All's FAIR in PHP and MySQL

Ovid on 2005-02-04T19:35:08

FAIR just sent out an email announcing their brand-new, redesigned Web site. Since their old Web site looked like it was designed by a particularly untalented second grader, this is a good thing. Here's what their new Web site looks like:

Warning: mysql_num_rows(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in /home/fair/cms/basebuilder-backend/src/metabase/metabase_mysql.php on line 256 Page not found

Update: Looks like they just fixed it :)

Now if only they lived up to their name (grumble)


intermittent error?

I tried it just now and got the same error. I tried reloading a few seconds later and the page came up fine.

Well, if they had used real open-source tools (PostgreSQL and Perl), maybe they wouldn't have this problem :)

People put up some pretty terrible stuff with Perl and PostgreSQL too, unfortunately. If you want a bit of scary humor, try googling for "mason error" sometime.

As a long time Mason user, I cringed at the thought of what would get returned.

Then... I thought... hey! Instant resume list!
