Error in retriving data from database
Question
I'm trying to retrive my first name and last name for viewprofile.php but i'm getting resource ID#5 . I am CREATING session in Login page after successful authentication. And I am trying to use it here. I'm trying to use a session which has been created to fetch the data from the database.
<html>
<h1> My Profile</h1>
<?php
session_start();
require "config.php";
$con = mysql_connect("localhost", $db_user, $db_pass);
if(!$con)
{
die('cound not connect: '. mysql_error());
}
mysql_select_db($db_name, $con);
# include 'new.php';
echo $_SESSION['username'];
#$usname = $_SESSION['username'];
#echo 'local var: ', $usname;
$sql1 = "SELECT * FROM register WHERE uname='".$_SESSION['username']."'" ;
#echo $sql1 ;
$result= mysql_query($sql1)or die(mysql_error());
#echo "res: " . $result;
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))
{
echo $row['fname']." ".$row['lname'];
echo"</br>";
}
mysql_close($con);
?>
</html>
I'm getting resource ID#5. Searched numerous places no luck. Kindly help

Unless I'm mistaken mysql_fetch_array will give you values that can be expressed as $row[0], $row[1] etc whereas mysql_fetch_assoc is what you're trying to use to get $row['fname'] etc
Change your code to
while($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result))
In either case a print_r($row) within your while loop will you how it's made up.
