I am a programming novice and just created my first php application. However I have a
situation I
don't know the answer to.
My db queries (mysql) are written like this:
$qtrans= select * from $table where (conditionals) order by some field;
$link=mysql_connect ($host, $user,
if (mysql_num_rows($result) 1) {
//do stuff
}
This is only this easy with mySQL... :-)

Subject: [PHP-DB] If select query doesn't net any results
I would like to created an if statement that only occurs if the query gets a result.
If there are
no records that meet the query conditionals and my array ends up with null, I do not
want my if
statement to take place.
Is this easy enough to do? Any help would be great.
if(
...
if ($result) {
while ($row...
...
}
$result will be 0 (false) if nothing satisfies the query. Any other
comparison is just extra typing with no improvement in logic.

Doug

No, it only returns false/0 if the query fails, meaning there was an
error and the query couldn't be
