Getting data from MySQL

[DYWBH]

I am trying to pull one piece of data from my database. The users balance. The $userid is within the session which I haven't included. For some reason when I run this it says "Resource id #9" 

 

<?php

include 'connect.php'; 

$query = "SELECT Balance FROM Users WHERE ID = '$userid'";
$result = mysql_query($query);

echo "$result";


?>

 

Thanks

<?php

include 'connect.php'; 

$query = "SELECT Balance FROM Users WHERE ID = '$userid'";
$result = mysql_query($query);

while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)){
//use your values
echo $row['ID'] . "<br />";
echo $row['Balance'] . "<br />";
}
?>
