I want to post a message that when there are NO product available. Its turned 
out to be more difficult than I thought.

I tried is_array, empty, !empty, thinking  - well, if its empty then I know 
nothing is there. But its not working.

if(mysql_select_db('wt')){
   $query = "SELECT name FROM deer_product WHERE
   deer_type='".$_GET['deer_type']."'";

     if($result = mysql_query($query, $dbc)){                           
       while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)){
         print '<center>';
        if(!empty($row[0])){
         print '<p>
           <ahref="deer_product.php?deer_type='.$_GET['deer_type'].
           '&amp;name='.$row[0].'"><b>'.$row[0].'</b></a></p>';
        } else {
         print 'There is no '.$_GET['deer_type'].' for sale at this time.';
        }
        print '</center>';      
        }
     }
}
