i'm not getting errors, but heres the block in it's entirety

PHP Code:

        // sorts projects for main page
              $projects = $DB_site->query("
                 SELECT COUNT(*) AS votes, project_rate.projectid,
                 projects.text, projects.timestamp, user.username
                  FROM project_rate
                 INNER JOIN projects ON (project_rate.projectid = projects.projectid)
                 INNER JOIN user ON (user.userid = projects.userid)
                  $clause
                  GROUP BY project_rate.projectid
                 ORDER BY project_rate.projectid DESC
                  $limit 
              ");
  
              if (!$DB_site->num_rows($projects))
              {
                 eval(print_standard_error('confessions_error'));
              }
              else
              {
                 $totalconf = number_format($DB_site->num_rows($projects));
                 while ($project_info = $DB_site->fetch_array($projects))
                  {
                     $project_info['text'] = nl2br(stripslashes($project_info['text']));
                     $project_info['num_rates'] = number_format($project_info['votes']);
                     extract($project_info);
                     $time_posted = vbdate('n-j-y, g:i:s a', $timestamp); 
          eval('$projects_bits .= "' . fetch_template("projects_bit") . '";');
                  } 
              } 


i dunno what i've done, but for some reason the page has stopped echoing out the $projects_bit template

actually now i'm getting the num_rows error, so i ran the query in phpmyadmin and it's not returning anydata, i 'm not quite sure how to fix it?

the query will just return something, if there are votes in the DB i think.

so it may be needed to add one dummy vote for each project.

[sabret00the]

ok, i'll play with it

as it's not even returning results with votes.
