Resource id #s

[Ross]

Building a simple PHP/MySQL database interface. All SELECT queries return:
"Resource id #2"

What is this Resource id? Is there a list of them described somewhere?
Looked all over php.net

Many thanks!

Look harder. Particularly at:

http://php.net/mysql_query
http://php.net/mysql_fetch_array

This ought to be in a FAQ or something...!

Simple answer: Read the Manual!

More detailed answer:
Anyways, "Resource id #2" is the text-description of the valid mysql
resource. Looks to me like you need to do some reading on this one. Try
reading this:

http://us2.php.net/manual/en/ref.mysql.php

Scroll down the page to "Example 1. MySQL extension overview example".
Copy and paste code. Change names as necessary.

later...

Sorry for the ignorance! I had the concept backwards, I thought the
Reference # was in reference to an error (an assuption that should speak for
itself).

Got it all strait and working now, thanks again.
