If the query fails, e.g. because you have an error in your SQL
$person will contain FALSE.
If the query executes succesfully (whether it is an empty set or not)
$person could contain any number at all which represents the result
resource.
I think you want...
$numrows = mysql_num_rows($person);
if($numrows===0){
// result set was empty
}
