String and metacharacter

HI
$ret_data=mysql_query("select count(x) from hm where parent_id='K 3cpu/91'");

I've a problem regarding this query...it should return value of 3 that indicate there are 3 rows data that match the criteria,
But...somehow it doesn't work so and return value of 0.

I'm suspecting something wrong the where clause and the criteria (K 3cpu/91)...but don't what is it
So guys, is there anyone can help me on this?

ok I'm begging all of u out there

replace the x with a * in your sum function

$ret_data=mysql_query("select count(*) from hm where parent_id='K 3cpu/91'");
