[SOLVED] Simple PHP Questions

[casperpaul]

I am trying to extract info from db but it keeps returning "Array".  My code is below, any help will be appreciated.

  $conn = db_connect();
  $query = "select first_name from users where email='$email'";
  $result = mysql_query($query);

  $result = mysql_fetch_array($result);
  return $result;
 
Always returns "Array".

[code]  $conn = db_connect();
  $query = "select first_name from users where email='$email'";
  $result = mysql_query($query);
  $row = mysql_fetch_array($result);
  echo $row[first_name];
