I am getting this error in my paypal donate webpage and I am not sure how to stop it.
Warning: mysql_num_rows(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in /home/sixthr6/public_html/donation/donate.php on line 116
I am running this is DEMO mode right now until I can find a way to get this fixed. I have a custom mySQL database setup with the correct tables so I am not sure why when I do a fake donation in DEMO mode it doesn't save the comment to the main page and just throws up that error.
Here is the code in question
<?php
require "config.php";
require "connect.php";
// Determining the URL of the page:
$url = 'http://'.$_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'].dirname($_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"]);
// Fetching the number and the sum of the donations:
list($number,$sum) = mysql_fetch_array(mysql_query("SELECT COUNT(*),SUM(amount) FROM dc_donations"));
// Calculating how many percent of the goal were met:
$percent = round(min(100*($sum/$goal),100));
// Building a URL with Google's Chart API:
$chartURL = 'http://chart.apis.google.com/chart?chf=bg,s,f9faf7&cht=p&chd=t:'.$percent.',-'.(100-$percent).'&chs=200x200&chco=639600&chp=1.57';
?>

<h3>Hello, dear visitor!</h3>
<p>This is Tutorialzine's Donation Center. It utilizes PayPal's APIs to bring you a fully fledged donation solution. It is currently in <strong>Demo Mode</strong>, which means that PayPal is bypassed and you can donate as much as you want to test the functionality. You can, however, just change a variable in the config.php file to enable real donations.</p>
