Can you post up some code for us to look at? It could be something along the lines of your query not being valid, or your overwriting your result variable. That, and it is saying "1 is not a valid...". Are you trying to set it to a numeric variable?

It could also be that your connection resource variable isn't defined in the function that you are using (assuming that you are using functions).

for instance, if you are using $dbh for your mysql_connect variable inside of a function, then calling something that uses $dbh from another function, it might not have access to it. If that is the case, add global $dbh; to the top of that second function.

If we could see the code that you are using, it would really help out.
