Hi all:

I have a simple checking mechanism:

$num = mysql_num_rows($result);
if($num == 0) {
        $display_news = "<p>Sorry, no news items.</p>";
        }
else {
while(this, that and the other) {
}
}

What's the difference between:
if($num == 0) {
        $display_news = "<p>Sorry, no news items.</p>";
        }
//and:

if($num != 1) {
        $display_news = "<p>Sorry, no news items.</p>";
        }

As I seem to remember the former working fine...now I have to switch to 
the latter???

Cheers.
Russ
