<?php
$query = "SELECT posts.id AS post_id, categories.id AS category_id,
				title, contents, date_posted, categories.name
			  FROM posts
			  INER JOIN categories ON categories.id = posts.cat_id";
		mysql_query($query)or die(mysql_error());

are you sure the posts table has the column id, and not ID or something else.

Copy/paste header from php my admin
posts:

id cat_id title contents date_posted

categories:

id name

hmm it does seem that you have a column called that.

you could try quoting the table and column names with backticks `

Your table is postos, but you specify you're selecting from the posts table.

That's your problem
