Php help, getting id, but getting error?

Question

Trying to get the highest id from my database, but it returns as Resource id #3
My code:
$high = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM stories ORDER BY Id DESC LIMIT 1");
echo $high;

Answer 1

$high = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM stories ORDER BY Id DESC LIMIT 1");



echo mysql_result($high,0,'id');

Answer 2

$high = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM stories ORDER BY Id DESC LIMIT 1");



while($obj = mysql_fetch_object()){

print_r($obj);echo '
';

}

Answer 3

I think you need to use mysql_result() on $high to get the result out. Look at documentation or http://www.freewebmasterhelp.com/tutorials/phpmysql/4
