invalid result resource from a $_SESSION

I want to save two variables in a $_SESSION for use in another page:

$_SESSION['mark'] = $mark;
$_SESSION['num'] = $num;

then on the other page I did this to get the value:

$mark =$_SESSION['mark'];
$num = $_SESSION['num'];

then I pull a query:
$result = SELECT_clm($mark,$num);

but on this line I get an invalid result resource
$numrows = mysql_num_rows($result);

how can I fix this?

Did you check that your values for $mark and $num are what you expect?

print_r($_SESSION);

if you are getting expected values then test your SELECT_clm function.

Manually feed known values into your SELECT_clm function, that is more
then likely your issue.

SELECT_clm('mark','num');

This is how you draw down your problem.

Send us code of your function and it is easier, it is hard to debug a
black box function without the code.

$_SESSION['mark'] = $mark;

then excel print page it is:
$mark =$_SESSION['mark'];
$num = $_SESSION['num'];


Here is the output of a section of the print_r($_SESSION)

=janis [LMS_USER_TYPE] =1 [LMS_USER_DESC] =internal [mark] =>
allx [num] =1670 )


I don't know it appears to be right. $_SESSION['mark'] = 'allx' and
$_SESSION['num] = '1670'. It did go past the select query. So I
assume there is a $result.



Now it is stopping on other lines which are 2 and 4 of my function
having to do with the $result variable not being valid:



Error Message:

function:

function makexcldata($xclfields,$result){
$numrows = mysql_num_rows($result);
$rowcount =1;
if ($result && mySQL_num_rows($result)){
while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)){
for($i =0; $i < sizeof($xclfields);$i++){
$value .= $row[$xclfields[$i]] ;
$value .= "\t";
}

$value .= "\n";

}
$data = $value;
return $data;
}
}

Could it be there are no rows in the $result?
thanks,
