[RESOLVED] select problems

[trehy2006]

I have this:

$user = $_POST['user'];
$enteredpass = $_POST['pass'];
$query = "SELECT pass FROM users WHERE user='".$user."'";
$result= mysql_query($query);
IF ($enteredpass == $result){
echo"Correct!";
}else{
echo"Incorrect!";

Even when i enter the correct user/pass combination i get incorrect!

have i done something wrong? (probably!)

TIA

This is because $result is returning as 'Resource id #5'

Why is this??
