Try this one:

PHP Code:

<?php
mysql_connect("$servername", "$dbusername", "$dbpassword") or die("Couldnt find MYSQL!");
mysql_select_db("$dbname")  or die ("Couldnt find DB!");
$cekilen=mysql_query("SELECT SUM(views) AS threadviews FROM thread");
if (mysql_error()) {echo "mySQL error:"; echo mysql_error(); exit;}
else
{echo mysql_result($cekilen,0);} 
?>

Your query returns 1 row/1 field, so your dont need to deal with "while"s or "mysql_fetch_array"s. "mysql_result" does the trick..
