new WORKING code:

<?php
       if($accepts){ # person accepts ims
    if($accepts>5){ # the user wants them ALL
      $fims=mysql_query(\"SELECT msg_id FROM msgs WHERE to_id='$uid' AND viewed='0'\", $db);
      while($gimid=mysql_fetch_array($fims)){ # while there's ims
        $ims[]=$gimid['msg_id']; # record the msg_id
      }
    }else{ # user wants $accepts amount
      $fims=mysql_query(\"SELECT msg_id FROM msgs WHERE to_id='$uid' AND viewed='0' ORDER BY msg_id ASC LIMIT $accepts\", $db);
      while($gimid=mysql_fetch_array($fims)){ # while there's ims
        $ims[]=$gimid['msg_id']; # record the msg_id
      }
    }
      }
?>

i see it. the missing [] is changing it from an array to a scalar.

the first three lines of the function:

<?php
function bgnpg($title){ # begins all pages
  include(\"/home/joshua/includes/fyd.altincs.php\"); # includes file
  $ims=array(); 
?>

the loop that adds to it

<?php
      if($accepts){ # person accepts ims
    if($accepts>5){ # the user wants them ALL
      $fims=mysql_query(\"SELECT msg_id FROM msgs WHERE to_id='$uid' AND viewed='0'\", $db);
      $amtims=mysql_num_rows($fims);
      if($amtims){ # we have ims
        for($i=0;$i<$amtims;$i++){ # for each im
          $gimid=mysql_fetch_array($fims); $ims=$gimid['msg_id']; # record the msg_id
        }
      }
    }else{ # user wants $accepts amount
      $fims=mysql_query(\"SELECT msg_id FROM msgs WHERE to_id='$uid' AND viewed='0' ORDER BY msg_id ASC LIMIT $accepts\", $db);
      $amtims=mysql_num_rows($fims);
      if($amtims){ # we have ims
        for($i=0;$i<$amtims;$i++){ # for each im
          $gimid=mysql_fetch_array($fims); $ims=$gimid['msg_id']; # record the msg_id
        }
      }
    }
      }
?>

Are you sure $ims is an array? If you do count() on a scalar variable, it will return 1.
