php上的资源ID#.. sql

I'm working with sql on php and I get Resource id #...,

For e.g. Resource id #21,

What does it mean? and where can I find a table with all the meaning of these ids?

Thanks

You have to fetch your actual result from received via mysql_query() command result. For example after code

 $res = mysql_query("some query");

This returned result resource should be passed to mysql_fetch_array(), and other functions for dealing with result tables, to access the returned data.

Example:

$row = mysql_fetch_array($res, MYSQL_ASSOC);

If you need more then one row from your result you have to use loops.

The documentation regarding usage of these functions you can find here: http://php.net/manual/en/ref.mysql.php
