You need to pass a valid resource to the mysql_num_rows() function. For instance, you would generally build your query:

$query = "SELECT * FROM tablename";

Then to get the result:

$result  = mysql_query($query);

You can then use the mysql_num_rows() function:

$number_of_rows = mysql_num_rows($result);

If your code looks similar to what I have, check that your query is valid.
