Can someone explain how I can translate Resource id #5 which is what
I am getting from the code below?
$result = mysql_query("Select answer from answers") or

$resultArray = explode(',',$result);

echo $resultArray[$i];

For the love of $DEITY, please read the frickin' manual: http://php.net/mysql
. You've been asking similar questions around this topic for the past
few days and you clearly haven't moved forward in your understanding.
The mysql_query function returns a resource. If you print a resource
you get the text "Resource id #n" where n is replaced with its ID. To
make use of this resource you need to use functions like
mysql_fetch_array, mysql_fetch_assoc or one of the many others
detailed in, you guessed it, the manual. Try it, you might like it.
