Hi, $db = mysql_connect("localhost", "root"); mysql_select_db("mydb",$db); $sql = "SELECT * FROM employees where first = '$login'"; $result = mysql_db_query ("mydb", $sql); echo "$result"; If I run this cose then $result always = Resource id #2 even if $login is not a member of the database. Is there anyway I can get it to output true if $login is a member and false if $login is not a member? or at least get $result to be different if $login is in the database to that when it is not? Thanks, Kevin.
