Not receiving Resource ID from PHP MySQL Query

I tried echoing the value $query from a mysql_query request, but I am not receiving the resource #id that I usually receive. Please could you tell me what the problem is with the following code. Also, I would appreciate it if you could tell me how I could firstly get a for loop going to get the data from the query and secondly json encode it.

I would like 开发者_运维百科the data from the query to be parsed as json like this:

Array of dictionaries, dictionary looking like this:

click_id = ....
shorten_url = ....
referrer = ....
ip_address = ....
country_code = ....

PHP:

$dbhandle = mysql_connect($hostname, $username, $password) 
  or die("Unable to connect to MySQL");
mysql_select_db("nucleusi_mkdev") or die("Unable to select db");
$query = "SELECT  `click_id` ,  `shorturl` ,  `referrer` ,  `ip_address` ,  `country_code`FROM yourls_log";
$result = mysql_query($query);
echo $result;
    ?>

The resource id could change per request. So I wouldn't focus on that. If you're curious about the results you can do mysql_num_rows($result);

The docs have great code samples. Check out mysql_fetch_assoc() for looping over your query results and json_encode() for encoding each record.

A quick snippet to demo the two together:

$records = array();
while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)) {
    print_r($row);
    array_push($records, $row);
}

echo json_encode($records);
