this is because mysql_query() returns a result identifier for select
statements NOT a string or whatever you expected...

if ($result) {
    my query was syntactically ok, but I still don't know anything about the
result
}
else {
    my query was semantically invalid.
}

have a look at mysql_result() and mysql_num_rows() to find out more about
the result ouf
your query...
