erm, you are running num_rows on a normal array (query_first's result is always an array, not a mysql result resource.

so the correcter version is:

PHP Code:

while ($project_info = $DB_site->fetch_array($projects))
                  {
                 $project_info['text'] = nl2br(stripslashes($project_info['text']));
                    extract($project_info);
                 $time_posted = vbdate('n-j-y, g:i:s a', $timestamp);
  //where it started going wrong
                 $number_of_votes = $DB_site->query_first("SELECT COUNT(*) AS votes
                    FROM project_rate
                 WHERE projectid = $project_info[projectid]
                      ");
                 $num_votes = number_format($number_of_votes['votes']); 


but stillt a query within a while loop, is not good
