Mysql_fetch_array issue, parsing most likely the issue

[cisco]

Code:
<?php
function db_connect(){
mysql_connect("localhost","username","pass");
mysql_select_db("database");
}


function get_media_info($category, $id){
db_connect();
$re = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM '$category' WHERE id='$id'");
$r = mysql_fetch_array($re);
$title = $r['title'];
$description = $r['description'];
$file = $r['file'];
$author = $r['author'];
$authorurl = $r['authorurl'];
$rating = $r['rating'];
$tags = $r['tags'];
}

get_media_info('movies', '5');

print $title;
?>

Now a bunch of code has been ommitted in between, but it was simply html stuff for layout purposes.

This script isn't too complex, but I'm returning this error on execution whenever I try to print values such as $title:

when you run into a problem that is related to a database query, the best way to isolate the issue is to run your database query outside of php

that way you get to see the actual mysql error messages rather than some feeble complaint that php was unable to handle the response

in your case, you are attempting to retrieve data from a string, not a table -- This message may have been cut off and the rest will only be shown to members. To become a member, click here --
