Why is this not working

[Anon]

<?
// Connect to the db
$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM user",$db); ?>

<FONT SIZE=5 COLOR="#FFFFFF" FACE="Arial">
<?php printf("%s", mysql_result($result,0,"FName")); ?>
</FONT>

This should work but it gives me this error why?

Warning: Supplied argument is not a valid MySQL-Link resource in /usr/local/apache/www/server.com/htdocs/register.php3 on line 82

Thanx for any help

you are trying to execute a SQL query to no where!

you need to make a connection to database first, only then you can do anything else.

you can add:

<?
echo mysql_error();
?>

after the query part to see if there is a problem with the query (it happens.)
