How do i “echo” a “Resource id #6” from a MySql response in PHP?

You need to use a fetch function. for example:

$result = mysql_query(sprintf("SELECT TIMEDIFF(NOW(), '%s') as time_delta", $row['fecha']));
if($result){
  $data = mysql_fetch_assoc($result);
  echo $data['time_delta'];
}

However, i wouldnt use the mysql functions unless absolutely necessary. the mysql extension is NOT recommended for use in new projects. Instead you should use PDO with PDO_mysql or mysqli.
