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:
