Checking if mysql_query returned anything or not

Question

$query = \"SELECT * FROM `table`\";
$results = mysql_query($query, $connection);

If \'table\' has no rows. whats the easiest way to check for this.?

Answer 1

Alternatively you can simply check if the result of mysql_fetch_assoc is false.

$query = "SELECT * FROM `table`";
$results = mysql_query($query, $connection);
$Row = mysql_fetch_assoc($results);
if ($Row == false)
{
  $Msg = 'Table is empty';
}
