    Presuming I entered the line correctly
    $query=mysql_query("$modx->db->query"); 
    


    The result was;

    « MODx Parse Error »

    MODx encountered the following error while attempting to parse the requested resource:
    « PHP Parse Error »

      Ahah!

      I entered the line incorrectly, just corrected it to replace the mysql_query bit and presto, the page now works! smiley

      So, will this code be okay leaving it as it is, or would this be only a temp fix?

      Many thanks for all the trouble you have taken over this! :-D
      • That should solve your problem. Keep this in mind when you start writing your own snippets, always use the MODx dbapi!

            I’ll make sure that it gets fixed for next release...

            • Obscure type of bug, the other php app must be using pconnect and not closing when finished.

                Yes, obscure type of bug.
                Had the same one after migrating a website.

                Old site (MaxiGallery working well):
                Hosting: Yellis.net
                PHP 5.3.29
                MySQL 5.5.47
                MODx 1.0.3
                magic_quotes_gpc Off
                magic_quote_runtime Off

                New site:
                Hosting: Infomaniak.website (URL for site preview)
                PHP 5.6.22
                MySQL 5.0.11-dev
                MODX 1.1
                magic_quotes_gpc ?(status not mentioned by phpinfo.php)
                magic_quote_runtime ?(status not mentioned by phpinfo.php)


                By echoing $mg->pics_tbl, I observed that the table name doesn't have back quotes around it.

                When trying $query=mysql_query("$modx->db->query"); as SimonMW did, this error was returned
                "Error : Object of class DBAPI could not be converted to string"

                I verified the table in phpMyAdmin and it had no defect.

                Solved the issue by simply commenting out the whole "validate table" block in maxigallery.php:
                //validate gallery table
                /*
                $query=mysql_query("DESC $mg->pics_tbl");
                
                if(!$query) {
                  ...
                } else {
                  ...
                }
                */

                Works. But of course, a patch would be appreciated.

                Maybe does the error come from MySQL as I see Infomaniak is using an older "dev" MySQL client for preview URLs, or some server settings.
