[Resolved] Php error?

[Sayian]

Hello , when attempting to preform this php code , i am getting a error that says

ID resorce # 9

Can anyone help me with this?

$username = $_GET['username'];

$check = ("SELECT id FROM shocc_users WHERE username='$username'");
$result = mysql_query($check) or die (mysql_error());
echo $result; // to test if result was found

That's not an error, the query was executed and the result is now stored in 'ID resource #9'. To access the rows and fields, you need to pull them from that result set with the required API functions (like mysql_fetch_assoc(), or mysql_fetch_array, etc...).
