That's basically your result set ID number inside PHP.

as for $query, what error are you getting?  Does this $query echo out:

$query = "SELECT servername, COUNT(steps) AS CountSteps FROM monitoring
WHERE steps LIKE 'iisreset' AND timestamp <= '" . $_POST['time2'] . "' AND
timestamp >= '" . $_POST['time1'] . "' GROUP BY servername ORDER BY COUNT(*)
DESC LIMIT 10";
