Hi
<p>Flies in pot = <?=flies();?> </p> function flies(){ $sql = 'select count(*) from flies'; $lnk = mysql_connect('localhost','root','123456'); $db = mysql_select_db('moar',$lnk); $result = mysql_query($sql,$lnk); mysql_free_result($result); mysql_close($lnk); return $result; } Why this leads to 'ressource id #10' instead of the flies count ? The query gives the actual count if I use it in a line command !! thanks -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
