I'm trying to select a number from my database and when I run my scrip I always received this message " Resource id #3 " and not the actual number that is in my database. Does anyone know what this means? Please help if you can!!

<?php
$sql_amt = "SELECT total FROM Customer_Order
WHERE order_number='{$_SESSION['order_number']}'";
$result = mysql_query($sql_amt)
or die("Error: ".mysql_error($cxn));

echo $result;
?>

Try this - http://www.php.net/manual/en/functio...-fetch-row.php

And in general, check the functions at the bottom of this page -http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.mysql.php
