What is meant by a mysql resource This is a quote from tizag 'When you perform a SELECT query on the database it will return a MySQL Resource that holds everything from your MySQL table, "example". We want to use this Resource in our PHP code, so we need to store it in a variable, $result.'

I am learning php and i am a little stuck on something. What exactly is a mysql Resource? What is meant by Resource in PHP
