Yeah, but when I'm trying to debug code generating a web page, I stick
all the debugging output in a <pre> element at the end of the page, if I
don't get the pre element output the problem is invariably identified in
the server error log.

To the OP - sorry, you're not using mysqli .... replace "$result = mysqli-
> exec( $sql );" with whatever code you're using to make your database
call, maybe the "mysql_query" call.

Change this php:

$visuals_query=mysql_query("SELECT id, imagelink, comment, picdate, rel
FROM PictureMedia ORDER BY picdate DESC");

To:

<?php
$sql = "SELECT id, imagelink, comment, picdate, rel FROM PictureMedia
ORDER BY picdate DESC";
$visuals_query=mysql_query( $sql );
$debug = "sql: " $sql . "\nresult: " . var_dump( $visuals_query ) . "\n";
if ( $visuals_query == false )
$debug .= "sql error: " . mysql_error() . "\n";
?>

and then use the

<?php echo "<php>{$debug}</pre>"; ?>

to show the actual query, the query result set (warning, can be large)
and any sql error messages.
