Print out results from a MySQL Query

Rather new to php so I'm trying to learn how to print out some results. The column I want to query has 24,113 rows so it has a lot of data but I want to sort it via a specific field so Im trying this. Sorting I know ASC DSC but I will learn how to do this another way just want to get past the basic part.


<?
$dbhost = 'localhost';
$dbuser = 'zackman_;
$dbpass = '1083';
$conn = mysql_connect($dbhost, $dbuser, $dbpass) or die ('Error connecting to mysql');
$dbname = 'zackman_';
mysql_select_db($dbname);
$data = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM userfield ORDER BY field55 LIMIT 0,20;") or die(mysql_error());

echo "$data";
mysql_close($conn);
?>


Problem is I am getting a Resource ID 3 error which I am not familar with. I realize there is a lot of data to print so I want to learn how to to format it to look a little more nicer when it is viewed on the web which Ill figure out eventually but I can't get past this part. I have MySQL5 and apache2/php5 this is my own server so I can configure it any way I like in the event the problem is more then just a coding/syntax error

A similar problem is in MySQL forum http://www.codingforums.com/showthread.php?t=127034

Ive read the manual and still dont really get it, at best I im guessing I need to define an array?

Scroll down to see some examples

$data = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM userfield ORDER BY field55 LIMIT 0,20;") or die(mysql_error());
while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($data)) {
echo $row['firstname'];
echo $row['lastname'];
echo $row['address'];
echo $row['age'];
}

I changed it to


$data = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM userfield ORDER BY field55 ASC LIMIT 0,20;") or die(mysql_error());
$info = mysql_fetch_array( $data );

while ($info = mysql_fetch_array($data)) {
echo '<p><pre>';
print_r($info);
echo '</pre>';
}



Result

Array

[userid] => 11257

Array

And that worked Now I need to learn how to format it nicely where could I read up on that stuff. Basically Ill need to set this information to print horizontally rather then vertically

Instead of print_r(), just print your values of fields like
echo $info['name_field1'];
echo '<br/>'.$info['name_field2']; (use your table'd filed names.)
