should be simple and the query works in phpmyadmin, what the heck am i screwing up here?

```auto
 

function getBio($bioID){

echo "id:".$bioID;
$q = "SELECT * FROM `phys` WHERE `ID` = 65"; //hardcoded here for testing
$info = mysql_query($q);

echo "firstName ".$info['firstName'];

}

getBio($bioID);

```
