Error message

Anon

I want to display a message that says something if sql_result doesn't have any information in it. Query comes back empty.

I thought it would be as simple as:
if ($sql_result == "") echo ("Message");

But it's not working.

I echoed $sql_result and it says "resource id #2".

Thanks!

non_zero

That's because an sql result won't return an empty string. Try this:

if (!$sql_result) echo ("Message");

The exclamtion point will return true if the variable is false, or hasn't been set.

...but you probably already knew that. ::shrugs::

Hi Jared

Didn't work in this case. Message doesn't print and if I remove the exclamation mark the message prints all the time.

Can't get anything to work no matter what I do. Trying to make sense out of an isset() function that sounds like it might work but am getting nowhere.
