Total views on non-vb page (Query included)

[wooolF[RM]]

]Here's code I tried to use...

PHP Code:

<?

$path = "/home/wooolf/WWW/forum/admin"; // set the path to your admin directory. see above for info about this.


require("$path/config.php");
$db=mysql_connect($servername,$dbusername,$dbpassword);
mysql_select_db($dbname);

$cookievalue = mysql_query("SELECT value FROM setting WHERE varname = 'cookietimeout'") or die("oops1");
$cookietimeout = mysql_result($cookievalue, 0, 0);
$datecut = time()-$cookietimeout;

$total = mysql_query("SELECT SUM(views) AS threadviews FROM thread") or die("goddamnit");
while($total = mysql_fetch_array($total)):
    $totalviews = number_format($total[threadviews]);
endwhile;

echo("$totalviews");

?>

Results: Warning: mysql_fetch_array(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in /home/wooolf/WWW/forum/totalviews.php on line 15

Line 15:

PHP Code:

while($total = mysql_fetch_array($total)):
