I'm trying to get my code to print out a "sorry - no results" message if
there is no match. I've read the If statement in the PHP manual
(http://www.php.net/manual/ro/control-structures.php#control-structures.if)
and
I think my code structure may be wrong.. am I wrong to nest it this way in
the following code? If so, where should I be putting the " if $sql returns 0
records, then print.." code?
while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($sql_result)) {
if ($sql_result = 0) {
$option_block .= "Sorry, your search has resulted in 0 records. Please try
again. \n";
}
else {
$advocateID = $row["advocateID"];
$esc_fname = $row["FNAME"];
$esc_lname = $row["LNAME"];
$esc_firm = $row["FIRM"];
$esc_city = $row["CITY"];
$esc_province = $row["PROVINCE"];
$esc_area = $row["AREA"];
// strips out special characters before output.
$fname = stripslashes($esc_fname);
$lname = stripslashes($esc_lname);
$firm = stripslashes($esc_firm);
$city = stripslashes($esc_city);
$province = stripslashes($esc_province);
$area = stripslashes($esc_area);
$option_block .= "<li><b>Name:</b> <a
href=\"advocate_details.html?sel_advocateID=$advocateID\">$fname
$lname</a><br><b>Firm/Organization:</b> $firm<br><b>Location:</b> $city,
$province<br><b>Specialty:</b> $area<br> </li>\n";
}
}
