[The M.I.P.]

@Triple_T:
I can't see any interrelation of your problem with this phpAdsnew integration.
Nevertheless, your cited code above doesn't show the line where variable $result is assigned (there's only a similar $resultb variable), so the context of the problem is not clear. As Photopost is closed source and I don't have access to it, I can't look for it by myself.

I really doubt, that your problem has anything to do with this phpAdsNew plugin.
To be sure that this is no problem of this product, uninstall phpAdsNew integration completely and don't forget to remove the <ad .. /> tag from your templates.
