PHP - Help Returning Boolean

Hi I am new to php,  I am trying to capture the url and place into a variable but I only get the 1st digit to show,  I just cant see what I am doing wrong. 

Sorry to ask such a basic question but I just can't work it out,  I have attached a screen shot of all me code, your help would be very very much appreciated.

why does the top code work and the bottom does not? what am i missing? the only real diffrence is the query.
im getting "Warning: mysql_num_rows() expects parameter 1 to be resource, boolean given in " for this code $numrows = mysql_num_rows($result).

the query works fine in phpmyadmin.

thanks


$query = "SELECT * FROM dsgi_servlist " ;
$result = mysql_query($query) ;
$numrows = mysql_num_rows($result) ;
echo $numrows ;



$sql = "SELECT COUNT(*) FROM dsgi_servlist where location = 'hdd'"; 
$result = mysql_query($sql) ;
$numrows = mysql_num_rows($result) ;
echo $numrows ;

How can I fix this error?

Warning: mysql_fetch_assoc() expects parameter 1 to be resource, boolean given

Code: [Select]
function fetch_most_recent_fans($ctag)
{
$sql = "SELECT
`company_fans`.`company_id`,
`company_fans`.`user_id`,
`company_fans`.`fan_date`,
`companies`.`companytag`,
`users`.`firstname`,
`users`.`lastname`,
`users`.`username`
FROM `company_fans`
LEFT JOIN `companies`
ON `companies`.`companyid` = `company_fans`.`company_id`
LEFT JOIN `users`
ON `users`.`id` = `company_fans`.`user_id`
WHERE `companies`.`companytag` = {ctag}
ORDER BY `company_fans`.`fan_date` DESC
LIMIT 10";

$query = mysql_query($sql);

$return = array();

while (($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($query)) !== false)
{
$return[] = $row;
}

return $return;
}

Hi, I have an image uploader here and I am trying to have a user enter their password and check a box in order to submit their image.  I am having trouble validating the password.  I get this error message:

"Warning: mysqli_num_rows() expects parameter 1 to be mysqli_result, boolean given in /home/content/68/6372768/html/submit.php on line 58"

From this section of the code:

      $query = "SELECT * FROM user_info WHERE password = SHA($user_password)";
      $data = mysqli_query($dbc, $query);
      if (mysqli_num_rows($data) == 1) {
      $valid_password = true;
      }

Anyone see what I am doing wrong?  The password stored in my DB is encrypted with SHA.

  // Start the session
  require_once('startsession.php');
  // Insert the page header

I created this function to update my tour system.  The query is working and is updating one row in the table, but I get a resource boolean error in the return section of the function.  Any idea why?

Code: [Select]
function update_tour($uid, $step)
{
$step = (int)$step;
$uid = (int)$uid;

$sql = "UPDATE `users`
SET
`tour_step` = ${step}
WHERE `id` = '${uid}'";

$q = mysql_query($sql) or die(mysql_error());

return (mysql_num_rows($q) === 1) ? mysql_result($q, 0): false;
}
