Dear Group, I am trying to do a simple HTML/PHP database query against a MySql database. When I run the query in the monitor and in PHPMyAdmin .... I get exactly the response I am looking for. When I run in through Apache1.3+/PHP4+ on Windows 2000, I get a response "Resource id #" with the number 3 or 11 or whatever against the #. My calls pass all my tests ..... The connection to the database is OK ... the password, table, localhost, user etc etc tests are all OK, but all I get back is this string "Resource id #3" or whatever number. I have tried rewriting the code many times following many textbook suggestions ... but still the same result. Anybody got any ideas where I am going wrong.
