mysql_fetch_array() expects parameter 1 to be resource, boolean given in select

I am receiving the below message when I run this script:

Warning: mysql_fetch_row() expects parameter 1 to be resource, string given in /var/www/html/toolkit/routing.php on line 12

I have ran the query in the mysql console and it prints the correct row. Not sure why I cant get it to show up in php?

routing.php page:

<?php
error_reporting(E_ALL);
////error_reporting(0);
ini_set('display_errors', 'On');
include("db/sbc_config.php");
include("db/mysql.class.php");
$db = new MySQL(true, DB_DATABASE_ROUTING, DB_SERVER, DB_USER , DB_PASS);
if ($db->Error()) $db->Kill();

        $searchroute = "SELECT * FROM destination_route as d WHERE d.destPrefix='2146811'";

        $result = mysql_fetch_row($searchroute);
    echo $result;

    ?>

sbc_config.php:

<?php
//database server
define('DB_SERVER', "10.10.1.146");

//database login name"
define('DB_USER', "user");

//database login password
define('DB_PASS', "pasword");

//database names
define('DB_DATABASE_ROUTING', "routing");

//smart to define your table names also
define('TABLE_DESTINATION_ROUTE', "destination_route");


?>

mysql_fetch_row takes a cursor and returns the next row in that cursor. You’re trying to give it a string. You’re missing a step.

You’ll have to execute that query first:

$cursor = mysql_query($searchroute); // for example
$result = mysql_fetch_row($cursor);
