I have a database: web_feedback, and it has 5 columns: Firstname varchar(40) not null Lastname varchar(40) not null Email varchar(40) PRIMARY KEY not null ServList varchar(40) not null Timestamp not null I run a query in a PHP script to retrieve the email address the line of code looks like this: $query_time = mysql_query("select time from DB where email='$email'"); This line returns RESOURCE ID #2 in $query_time when I use it to echo it's value in an email message: $mailcontent = $firstname." ".$lastname." has submitted info as follows: \n". "First Name: ".$firstname."\n". "Last Name: ".$lastname."\n". "email: ".$email."\n". "Selected Services: ".$servList."\n". "Time entered: ".$query_time."\n"; Anyone able to see off hand if I'm doing anything obviously wrong? /T -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
