Problem with If Continue Else

[Anon]

I am having probs with the ifstatement below. It works or it displays information after it and no errors arise. But the field is empty. And it displays a 1 for using the <li> and it should just skip the line because I have checked my database and the field is empty. Can someone help me with. Thanks in advance
Sincerely John
<?php

$themixture = urldecode($thedrinkname);

$linkID = @mysql_connect("mysql.addr.com", "blabla", "******");

mysql_select_db("blabla", $linkID);

$resulta = mysql_query("SELECT drinkname, liqour, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, directions FROM mixedrinks WHERE drinkname = '$thedrinkname' and liqour = '$major'", $linkID );

print "<table>";

for ($x= 0; $x < mysql_num_rows($resulta); $x++)

{

$row = mysql_fetch_assoc($resulta);
$teni = mysql_result($resulta, 0, "ten");
print "<tr>";

print "<td><font size=2 face=tahoma,arial><b><br>DRINK NAME: " . $row[drinkname] . "<br>";

if (($teni == NULL) or ($teni == ''))

{

continue;

}

else

{

print "<li>";

print mysql_result($resulta, 0, "ten");

}

print "</td>";

print "</tr>";

}

print "</table>";

?>

I am not sure what you are after here, but you might want to try the empty() function instead of != NULL thing.....

if(empty($varName)) continue;
