Calling specific DB entries

[kamu]

I'm really new at PHP, I just bought a book to help me modify my boards a little bit. To practice, I tried calling user ID #1 from the database and posting it on the forum home.

I know this may look way off but here's what I did.

PHP Code:

// Locate Forum Administrator
  $findadmin = mysql_query ($adminquery);
  $adminquery = "SELECT username FROM user WHERE userid = '1'";
  $whosadmin = "The administrator of this forum is $findadmin"; 


I added this into index.php and added the variable $whosadmin to the forumhome template.

It's appearing on my board as "The administrator of this forum is" - and stops at the good part >.<


What did I miss or where did I mess up?
