mysql_result() needs a minimum of two arguments: resource and row
number.

Alternatively, use an alias for the aggregate column and get it by
name:

$query = "select max(qno) as maxqno from answers";
$result = mysql_query( $query );

$row = mysql_fetch_array( $result, MYSQL_ASSOC );
print $row[ 'maxqno' ];
