Yes, you're right, my code was wrong. Next try:
$found = false;
while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)) {
$found = true;
print 'Here is a result';
...
}
if (!$found) {
print 'No results found';
}
The proposed while/else syntax is indeed a bit more elegant.

Read again. Your code would always print 'No results found' while the
intended change wouldn't.

Can you give a better example to support your request? Your example can
easily be written as:
while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)) {
print 'Here is a result';
...
}
if (!row) {
print 'No results found';
}
I don't think that this one test is so expensive that it makes it worth
the trouble (and cost) to clutter up the language.

Description:
------------
How about a while...else structure. Often we do
if (!mysql_num_rows($result)) {
print 'No results found';
}
while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)) {
print 'Here is a result';
...
}
Wouldn't it be nicer to do a
while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)) {
print 'Here is a result';
...
} else {
print 'No results found';
}
