New db connection method? Im stuck

[tbobker]

  	while ($news_id = $result->fetch_assoc()) {

	$get_news = "select * from content
	              where Page_ID = '{$news_id['Page_ID']}'";

	$news_result = $handle->query($get_news);

	if($news_result->$num_rows()){

Im trying to connect to the database and make a query in a slightly different way that im used to. But im getting an error message i have never got before:

Fatal error: Method name must be a string in C:\wamp\www\EasyDesign\index.php on line 16

The php above is where the error is. Can anyone help?

I am guessing that:

if($news_result->$num_rows()){

should be:

if($news_result->num_rows()){

Next time, post what database wrapper you use for the code snippet.
