invalid resource for fetch_object??

i have this script in full: <?php include("conf.inc"); mysql_connect($host, $mysqluser, $mysqlpwd)||die(mysql_error()); mysql_select_db($db)||die(mysql_error()); mysql_query("select count(*) from prayer"); $total=mysql_affected_rows(); mysql_query("delete from prayer where Posted <= now()-interval 14 day"); $delete=mysql_affected_rows(); $status1=mysql_query("select version() as version, connection_id() as connection, now() as time, benchmark(1, \"delete from prayer where Posted <= now()-interval 14 day\") as bench"); $server1=mysql_fetch_object($status1); $message="Hi...\n The time is: $server1->time\n connection id for this request: $server1->connection\n server version: $server1->version\n records found: $total\n records deleted: $delete\n The above stats were based on the following query:\n \"delete from prayer where Posted <= now() -interval 14 day\"\n The script that generated this message took $server1->bench seconds to process\n This mnessage is automatically generated.. don't reply to it.\n"; mail("aborka@wellstonmichigan.com", "Franklin nightly report", $message, "From: system@franklin.org"); ?> on the $status1= line it takes the version number time and all that sort of stuff and then does a query for a delete from a table it then takes the select on the $status1 line and tries to do a fetch_object on the select but for some reason i get a invalid resource for that function?? how come when i can do the work manual but the php script says that? would fetchJ_array or fetch_row be better for that? also i get only 1 records found when it sends me mail about what the script had done and found when i know there are 5 records in the table??
