You're not getting an error, the MySQL API is just doing what you're asking it to: echoing the contents of $data, which is a MySQL query resource at this point. Extend the code to actually retrieve the results:

while($row = mysql_fetch_object($data))
    var_dump($row);

And you'll see the output.

Note that the mysql_* API is deprecated since PHP 5.5 by the way.
