im not sure what you are tryin to do with the code...but your sql query is not getting executed any where....

$sql = "select * from something";
$res = mysql_query($sql);
$row = mysql_fetch_row($res);
$img_src = $row[1];

you code should be something like this ...

that means either you are passing the wrong parameter to the function or your query is wrong or query is not returning any rows...

i suggest you read up an online tutorial on this first and then proceed with your project ...

DeIntegro,
The reason you're only getting one row is because you're querying for one row. You need to query an array of rows.
$row = mysql_fetch_[b]row[/b]($result);
should be
$row = mysql_fetch_[b]array[/b]($result);

This is not true.
Both functions fetch one row from the query and store it in an array.
The only difference between them is how the array in which the row is stored is constructed:
mysql_fetch_row returns an enumerated array (eg. {[0] => a, [1] => b})
mysql_fetch_assoc returns an associative array (eg. {[x] => a, [y] => b})
mysql_fetch_array returns an array containing both of these (eg. {[0] => a, [x] => a, [1] => b, [y] => b}).

To get multiple rows from your query simply call mysql_fetch_array/assoc/row again and again until it returns false:

while($row = mysql_fetch_array($sql)){
    // Do something with the row
}

I get this error when I load the page:

Warning: mysql_fetch_row(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in

When you get following error:
"Warning: mysql_fetch_row(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in "
You should echo/print your query and try execute it on your database using your favorite mysql client tool be it phpmyadmin or heidisql and see if it brings the result?
Mostly if connection is proper it will be query problem. so just make sure that.

I got to figure it out, but it's only loading 1 field from database and not the entire row

Can I ask, why are you using the 'new line' in your sql query?
