I've always done it like this: $count = mysql_num_rows( $result ); if( $count == 0 ) then doomething();
But there may be a better way.. In yours it appears you are testing for anything in mysql_num_rows($result) and a value of 0 in mysql_num_rows($ret). I may be misundertanding you. Do you mean to test for the value of both to be 0? If that's the case, I was under the impression that it would have to be if( $foo == 0 AND $bar == 0 ) then doSomething(); but I could be wrong..
