[SOLVED] Resource id #3

[gevo12321]

hi

i very new to php and

 

and i wrote this just testing it out to see how it works

 

<?php

include 'connect.php';

$button1 = mysql_query("SELECT button1 FROM layout

WHERE page='home'");

echo $button1;

mysql_close($link)

?>

 

and

 

it just says Resource id #3

 

what does it mean and how can i fix it?

[chigley]

$query = mysql_query("SELECT button1 FROM layout WHERE page = 'home'") or die(mysql_error());
list($button1) = mysql_fetch_row($query);
echo $button1;
