Zend DB - Count(*) not working

My sql statement is not working with Zend, its complaining about the Count(*) field... what am I doing wrong?

// get open/closed
$stmt = $db->query('SELECT status, count(*) as total FROM reported_issues WHERE date_reported >= '.$today.' AND status IN (0,1) GROUP BY status');
while ($row = $stmt->fetch())
{
    switch ($row['status'])
    {
        case 0:
            $totalIssuesToday = $row['total'];
            break;

        case 1:
            $totalIssuesClosedToday = $row['total'];
            break;
    }
}

and the errors...

Aside from what others have noted about the value you have in $today, you really should be using bound parameters with your queries

<?php

$stmt = $db->query(
    "SELECT status, count(*) as total
       FROM reported_issues
      WHERE date_reported >= ?
        AND status IN (0,1)
      GROUP BY status"
    ,array( $today )
);
