Query outputs the word 'Array'?

[melting_dog]

Hi guys,

 

I have a simple query here:

 

$sql="SELECT user_id FROM $tbl_name WHERE email='$loginuseremail' AND password='$loginpassword'";

$result=mysql_query($sql);

$row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result);

 

//START SESSION

session_start();

$_SESSION['username']=$loginuseremail;

$_SESSION['user_id']=$row;

 

echo $_SESSION['user_id'];

 

It should obviously output an ID number but instead I just get the word 'Array'. If I remove the  mysql_fetch_assoc() I just get 'Resource ID #4'.

 

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

 

Thanks!

print_r($row) and you should have a better idea why that's happening.
