mysql_num_rows

[Craig Hoffman <choffman@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Perhaps someone could look at this function and help me trouble shoot  
it?  This function notifies the user of their new passwd.

 I keep getting an error message on this page  (see below).  What's  
strange is  the script seems to be working because i am getting an  
email with my new password.  Here is the error message I am receiving:

Warning: mysql_num_rows(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL  
result resource in  
/Users/choffman/Sites/www/cyclistsedge/include/ 
forgot_password_functions.php on line 70

suggestions?  Anything will be helpful.  Much Thanks CH

function notify_password($username, $password)
// notify the user that their password has been changed
{

    $query ="SELECT username FROM users WHERE username=('$username')";
   // $result = mysql_query($query, $db);
    if (!$query)
    {
      return false;  // not changed
    }
line 70 =>  else if (mysql_num_rows($query)==1)

      $user_id = mysql_result($query, 0, 'user_id');
      $from = "From: missy@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx \r\n";
      $mesg = "Your password has been changed to $password \r\n"
              ."You might want to change it next time you log in. \r\n";

      if (mail($username, 'Cyclists Edge login information', $mesg,  
$from))
        return true;
      else
        return false;
    }
