mysql_num_rows() error - mysql

Question

I am displaying an editable table in drupal with the following code
function _MYMODULE_sql_to_table($sql) {
$html = "";
// execute sql
$resource = db_query($sql);
// fetch database results in an array
$results = array();
while ($row = db_fetch_array($resource)) {
$results[] = $row;
$id = $row['id'];
$email = $row['email'];
$comment = $row['comment'];
// drupal_set_message('Email: '.$email. ' comment: '.$comment. ' id: '.$id);
}
// ensure results exist
if (!count($results)) {
$html .= "Sorry, no results could be found.";
return $html;
}
// create an array to contain all table rows
$rows = array();
// get a list of column headers
$columnNames = array_keys($results[0]);
// loop through results and create table rows
foreach ($results as $key => $data) {
// create row data
$row = array(
'edit' => l(t('Edit'),"admin/content/test/".$data['id']."/ContactUs", $options=array()),);
// loop through column names
foreach ($columnNames as $c) {
$row[] = array(
'data' => $data[$c],
'class' => strtolower(str_replace(' ', '-', $c)),
);
}
// add row to rows array
$rows[] = $row;
}
// loop through column names and create headers
$header = array();
foreach ($columnNames as $c) {
$header[] = array(
'data' => $c,
'class' => strtolower(str_replace(' ', '-', $c)),
);
}
// generate table html
$html .= theme('table', $header, $rows);
return $html;
}
// then you can call it in your code...
function _MYMODULE_some_page_callback() {
$html = "";
$sql = "select * from {contact3}";
$html .= _MYMODULE_sql_to_table($sql);
return $html;
}
However, I keep getting the mysql_num_rows() error as
Warning: mysql_num_rows(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource. What is causing it?

Which version of Drupal are you using?
try db_affected_rows()
or db_num_rows()
