Tried it, and I get "false", and "Invalid query: You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'WHERE 1=1' at line 1".

You indicate that you were using mysql_fetch_assoc(), yet your code does not 
show it anywhere.  Also, if your test script is exactly as shown, you haven't 
even created a database link.  That said:

<?php
$result = @mysql_query('SELECT * WHERE 1=1');
die(PHP_EOL.var_dump($result).PHP_EOL);
?>

$ php kjh.php 
bool(false)

What do you see when you run the code exactly as shown above?
