less then = too

Can anyone tell me what is wrong here. I am trying to make it so that if a person already has 2 banners uploaded, then show something else other then the upload form. I keep getting show something else.... and I shouldnt

$query2 = "SELECT count(*) from banners where user_id='$user_id'";

    $result2 = mysql_query ($query2);

if ($result2 <= 2)
{
show form
}else{
show something else
}

$query2 = "SELECT count(*) FROM banners WHERE user_id='$user_id'";
$result2 = mysql_query($query2);
$count = mysql_result($result2, 0); 

if ($count <= 2) 
{ 
	// show form 
}
else
{ 
	// show something else 
}

It seems that it works but with one problem, I am allowed to upload three banners instead of just 2 .

Change it to just < 2 then. Or <= 1. Same thing.
