There is another way to find out the number of rows of a table without using mysql_result.
Try this:
mysql_select_db("my_db");
$query = "SELECT my_field FROM my_table";
$result = mysql_query($query);
$rows = mysql_num_rows($result);
echo "Rows: $rows";
A similar approach works for PostgreSQL. So, I presume it´s also valid for MySQL.
Hope it helps.
