this keeps saying

Warning: mysql_num_rows() expects parameter 1 to be resource, boolean given in directory here

the error is near the login_query variable, can someone help me fix it.

<?php

if (isset($_POST['login_username'], $_POST['login_password'])) { $login_username = trim(mysql_real_escape_string(htmlentities($_POST['login_username']))); $login_password = md5(trim(mysql_real_escape_string(htmlentities($_POST['login_password'])))); if (!empty($login_username) && !empty($login_password)) { $login_query = mysql_query("SELECT user_id FROM username WHERE username='".$login_username."' AND password='".$login_password."'"); if (mysql_num_rows($login_query)==1) { $user_id = mysql_result($login_query, 0, 'user_id'); $_SESSION['user_id'] = $user_id; header('Location: index.php'); die(); } }} ?>
