Re: Resource Id #2

The result returned by your query is like a container, which has to be fetched from and read. That's done using the mysql_fetch_array() function. You will find out all about it here, including good example code http://www.php.ca/manual/en/function.mysql-fetch-array.php What you really need is a tutorial focusing on using PHP and MySQL to build dynamic web sites. I thinks there's on by just that name. Here's a page that links to various tutorials: http://www.find.com.au/tutorials/webdevelopment/php/default.asp?ct=21&ob=3 Regards - Miles Thompson At 10:56 AM 1/23/2002 -0600, J. Wharton wrote:

I'm having a problem with retrieving data from MySQL databases. I can input with no problems, but when I try to pull the data back out (single field) and echo it I get something showing up saying Resource Id #2.
