Count MySql database rows with field value = '1'

Question

I'm trying to count the number of rows in my database with the field 'Level' equal to '1'. I already have this set up to count the fields, see code below.

$result = mysql_query("select count(1) FROM username");
$row = mysql_fetch_array($result);
$total = $row[0];

Now I would like to adapt this to only select field where the Level = 1 in the database.

I already have the database connection setup and its working fine.

I did try this code but was gettign nowhere.

$admins = mysql_query("select count(1) FROM WHERE Level='1'");
$totaladmins = mysql_fetch_array($admins);
$totaladmins = $admins[0];

Once the number of rows have been calculated it is displayed to the users through the following code

<h4><?php echo $total?> Users registered</h4>

Any help is supper appreciated.

There problem you're having is just because you forgot to include which table to select from. Instead of:

SELECT count(1) FROM WHERE Level='1';

Your query should be:

SELECT count(1) FROM username WHERE Level='1';

Hopefully this fixes your problem. :)
