How to link mysql fetch array to other

[yoda]

yoyo i have problem i dont get this:

$getcountwood = mysql_db_query($dbname, "SELECT wood FROM gamerecource WHERE 1"); 

$countwood2 = mysql_fetch_array($getcountwood); 

countwood = $countwood - $lumbermillcount; <-- line 47 

it gives big errohr but i dont now why:

Fatal error: Unsupported operand types in /home/virtual/site99/fst/var/www/html/test/buildings/lumbermill.php on line 47

i think it doesn't want to be linked with the mysql query but why and wut is tha solutiononen?

For a start your query isn't correct and you don't show us any of the useful bits but this is also wrong:

countwood = $countwood - $lumbermillcount; 

should be

$countwood = $countwood - $lumbermillcount; 

but I would surprised if that was the only error in your script.

the query is good, when i echo $countwood2 like this

 echo($countwood2['wood']); 

it just echos perfectly what i want but, i can't use $countwood2 for ANYTHING else, else i get that error. And I can be more specific if you tell me what usefull bits you need
i can give you the whole script if you want, but i thougt that was unnesecarry

and that was just a copy & paste mistake that i foget to copy the $
