John, This is the output: Resource id #15 or some other seemingly arbitrary Resource ID number? First of all what is a resource ID and second how do I get it to actually show what I am trying to get it to show!
=When MySQL returns data to PHP, the information is put into a variable called a "resource" special data type. When you attempt to treat this as if it were a string data type, all that it 'reveals' is the ResouceID (as you have found). =Please return to the manual, re-read the MySQL_query entry, and then move on to the MySQL_fetch_... series of functions. These are designed to extract (most usually) a row of data at a time from the ResourceID/MySQL resultset and make it available to your PHP script - examples given in the annotated manual.
