Can anyone tell me why this works on my localhost but gets an error on my
server:

<?php
$sql = "SELECT COUNT(*) FROM leaderboard WHERE points >=( SELECT points FROM
leaderboard WHERE username= '$username' )";
$result = mysql_query( $sql ) or die ( mysql_error() );
$rank = mysql_result( $result, 0 );
echo $rank;
?>


this is the error message but i cant figure it out:

Your Position  You have an error in your SQL syntax. Check the manual that
corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near
'SELECT points FROM leaderboard WHERE username= 'ainslie' )' at
