Hey there, okay I ran into these and need some tips, pointers etc...

First I was getting the Resource ID#5 error with this query:
$query="SELECT * FROM importimages WHERE Category='Obits'";
$result = mysql_query($query);

so then I read how mysql_query returns a resource, so I tried this:

$query = "SELECT * FROM importimages WHERE Category='Obits' ";
$result = mysql_query ($query);

$arr = mysql_fetch_row($result);
$result2 = $arr[0];
echo ($result2);


when I echo the result2 I get: 8561 --no idea what the heck that is....

the next line is this and its giving me probs: while ($row =
mysql_fetch_object ($result)) <------that is what it was orginally but it is
not pulling anything out of the db,   which led me to echo the query results
(see I am learning finally) so I could see if it really wasn't doing
anything and well its not...and if I try to make an array and then fetch it
as an object it tells me invalid,
I think I'm confused about how to make an object out of an array (if that is
what I want to do) this is pulling images from a db.

Thanks guys!
