Hi,
Count() is an aggregate function and you're trying to use it as a sub-query, which just isnt possible with MySQL.

You'll have to spilt your query into two, and add the results of the first into the second as a variable:

$res = mysql_query(select count(*) from subject)
$row = mysql_fetch_row($res);
$numRows = $row[0];

insert into post values('',$numRows, '$message')

Yah, unfortunately MySQL doesnt support sub queries, although i've heard that future versions will.
