What am i doing wrong here, the output is always 'empty'




<?php $result = mysql_query("SELECT username FROM users WHERE seatnum='seat1'") or die(mysql_error());

  if (seatnum == seat1) {
echo username;
} else {
echo 'empty';
}
?>


mysql_query() returns a resource, not the results themselves.
read: http://us3.php.net/manual/en/function.mysql-query.php especially the 2nd example to see what else you need to do to get to your results.


hint:  mysql_fetch_assoc()

have fun,
