mysql_query gives Resource id #3 error

[fbsd_user]

        $sql = "SELECT logon_id
                FROM members
              WHERE logon_id = '$logonid' AND logon_pw =
'$logonpw'";

        $result = mysql_query($sql) or die('Query failed. ' .
mysql_error());

      print "$result";  shows Resource id #3


  Where can I find meaning for what this means?

  And why does mysql_error() not contain the description of this
error?

  And why was the 'or die' condition not taken?
