Okay, I am getting this error message. I have fixed this on a different function, but I don’t know what to do here.

Here is the error message

```php
Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in /homepages/18/d166983733/htdocs/admin/newclientinfo.php on line 22

```

Here is line 22

```php
return($result->fetch_assoc());

```

Here is the function in which this code is found

```php
function get_clientrec_record($clientrec)
{
  $query = "select * from clienttable where id = '$clientrec'";
  $result = mysql_query($query, $handle);
  return($result->fetch_assoc());
}

```
