I'm not sure what database library you're using but it looks like you are trying to count the number of rows in a select statement in php from a mysql database.

Have you tried seeing if it works with the built in mysql database functions in php?

$count_result = mysql_query("SELECT COUNT(*) as totalcount FROM users");
$row = mysql_fetch_array($count_result);

$total = $row['totalcount'];
