Why is this query not working?

[Susan Ator]

I am running php 4.2.2 and mysql 3.23.54.

This is my query:

$sql = "SELECT MAX(esn) FROM address"; // line 37
$max_esn_result = mysql_query($sql) or print mysql_error(); // line
38
$max_esn = mysql_result($max_esn_result,$i,"esn"); // line 39

This is the error I get:

esn not found in MySQL result index 5 in
/var/www/html/address_entry.php on line 39

This is the structure of the address table:

`address_id` int( 11 ) NOT NULL auto_increment,
`address` varchar( 12 ) default NULL ,
`esn` int( 10 ) default NULL ,
`noi` varchar( 80 ) default NULL ,
`owner` varchar( 80 ) default NULL ,
`description` varchar( 80 ) default NULL ,
`operator` varchar( 20 ) default NULL ,
`timestamp` varchar( 20 ) default NULL ,
`addresslist` text,
PRIMARY KEY ( `address_id` )
) TYPE = MYISAM AUTO_INCREMENT = 601;

When I run:

SELECT MAX(esn) FROM address

in phpMyAdmin I get the expected result which is 515.

What in the world am I missing?!?!?!
