Resource ID #7 (Not 17)

[Independent]

$ham = mysql_query("SELECT * from logs");
echo $ham; 

I get resource #7 error, when I do this, the file is already connected to the MySQL Database, I'm trying to show all table records from logs.

+REP for anyone who can help.

But I have to goto school in a min.

$ham = mysql_query("SELECT * from `logs`");
while ($allrecords = mysql_fetch_array($ham)){
Print "$allrecords[FIELDNAME]";
} 

It does a loop for each piece of data

change the FIELDNAME to the fieldname you wish to display obviously

I'd change what jack put above:

$mysqlQuery = mysql_query( 'SELECT * from `logs`' );
while ( $r = mysql_fetch_array( $mysqlQuery ) )
{
    echo ( $r[ 'fieldName' ] );
}

I'd change what jack put above:

$mysqlQuery = mysql_query( 'SELECT * from `logs`' );
while ( $r = mysql_fetch_array( $mysqlQuery ) )
{
    echo ( $r[ 'fieldName' ] );
} 

And I'd change what you used.

$mysqlQuery = mysql_query( 'SELECT * from `logs`' );
while ( false !== ( $r = mysql_fetch_array( $mysqlQuery ) ) )
{
    echo( $r[ 'fieldName' ] );
}

stop using $var[var] it's alot slower unless you've defined FIELDNAME somewhere, use it as a string i.e: $var['var'] it works out something stupid like 5x faster.

What one works to display every field in the table.

Nether, you'd need to build some kind of foreach loop to go through, something like this:

foreach( $fetch as $key => $var )
{
    if(!is_numeric($key))
    {
        echo($key . ' - ' . $var);
    }
} 

where $fetch is the mysql_fetch_array

Also Resource ID #* aren't errors, they're resources.

You get them when you echo a mysql_query
