PHP access not working right

[brendan o'donnell]

Ok, I'm trying to set up a new site to use PHP to create content from a mysql table. I'm currently trying to figure out the process by displaying the two bits of data from a recently set up table with one entry, and it simply refueses to work right, either returning absolutely nothing, or if I vary things a little, an echo of "Resource ID #2" and #3. Any thoughts on what's going wrong? Here's the code, replacing the PW with **'s and the top database name with &&'s of course.

@ $db =mysql_connect('localhost', '&&&&&&_&&&&&&', '**************');
@mysql_select_db('&&&&&&_Reports') or die ( "unable to select database");

echo "<div class=\"ShadowFrame\"><a href=\"";

$query="SELECT Adress FROM TextLinkList WHERE 1";
$result= mysql_query($query);
echo $result;
echo "\"  class=\"TextThumb\">";

$query="SELECT Title FROM TextLinkList WHERE 1";
$result= mysql_query($query);

echo $result;
echo "</a></div>";
