Problem with query?!

Is there something wrong here? Other then me using * (( theres too many rows ))

Database Layout:
id read rDate rEmail rName rHeard game_sc game_scbw game_d1 game_d2 game_d2lod game_w1 game_w2 game_w3 game_w3ft rCurSN rReason

And 'read' is INT(1)

<?php

	$query2 = mysql_query('SELECT * FROM request_join WHERE read = \'0\'');
	if ( @mysql_num_rows($query2) != 0 ) { $num_new_join_requests = @mysql_num_rows($query2); } else { $num_new_join_requests = '0'; }

?>

Any help is apperciated. ^_^
