OK, now I see 8)
$result after your operations contains not SQL result, it's value is 1
(logical
TRUE) -- result of logical operation
mysql_query("SELECT * FROM SOME_TABLE") || die(....
If you want to exit after error try this construction:
if(!mysql_query("SELECT * FROM SOME_TABLE"))
{
die(....
};
