maybe you can try this :

$query="select COUNT(*) as total from january08_practices where
Practices = 'yes'";

$rt=mysql_query($query);

// If query success, print out the result
if($rt){
        echo " Command is successful ";
        $result = mysql_fetch_assoc($rt);
        echo $result['total'];
}

// else, show the error
else {
        echo "Command is not successful ";
        print mysql_error();
}
