ok, here is my code without all of the html (sorry people). I'm trying to get a sum of the field runtime. With this code, I get "Resource id #3" as an error. Any help getting me to the proper result would be greatly appreciated.
<? @$db = mysql_pconnect("localhost","dviewd"); mysql_select_db("dvds"); $query = "select * from list order by title"; $result = mysql_query($query); $num_results = mysql_num_rows($result); $dvd_time_query = "select sum(runtime) from list"; $dvd_time_result = mysql_query($dvd_time_query); echo "<td class=m><font size = -1><b>".$dvd_time_result."</b></td>"; ?> Thanks, Chip --------------------------------------------------------------------- Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Trouble unsubscribing?
