WHYISNT THIS MYSQL STATEMNT NOT WORKING? (php)

Posted on 16th Feb 2014 07:03 pm by admin

caps because its absolutely rediculous.
i dontunderstand why its not working. there is a column called id and a collumn called to
then there is also. two rows with the field for `to` equal to the number: 1
still doesnt work:
just outputs . this user has no commnets, none. (every single time)

Code: <?php $testlll = mysql_query("SELECT to FROM cmnts WHERE to = 1");
if(!$testlll){echo "this user has no comments, none.";} else{echo "this user has $testlll comments";} echo $testlll; ?>
and of course $testlll (which i renamed trying to fix it -from $test) is equal to, well. NOTHING!!! whats going on here? do i have to change a table name or something?
i didnt try that because i would have to redo the whole table. theres only one column called to and one column called id (so no dupes)
also im not dumb it used to be $testlll = mysql_num_rows(mysql_query thing but that didnt work either
