Thanks to everyone that replied. After trying solutions from everyone and
still not getting it to work I finally figured out why my code:
$result = mysql_query($query,$connection) or die("Error in Query");
$num = mysql_num_rows($result);
if ($num == 0)
echo something;
else
echo something else;
was not working. I had that piece of code in a while ($row =
mysql_fetch_array($result)) loop. It seems that if there is nothing to
get the condition inside the while loop is false so my code above was never
being executed. Even when I tried printing out the contents of $num it
would always be blank. The clue came when I deliberately changed the vale
of $num right above my code above and it still didn't work.
Thanks again to all who replied. It was a good chance to learn about
isset(), empty() and other functions.
