You can use PHP's empty() function to make sure that $run_query isn't empty:

Code: Select all

if(!empty($run_query)){
//Display the results
}

#comathi, I won't recommend doing that! I've had BAD experiences with the empty() function before, and I believe that its a torture, that no one should bear.

A little "mysql-oriented" way, also, the perfect way would be to use the MySQL's num_row's function. Have a look below:

Code: Select all

if (mysql_num_rows($run_query) != 0) {
  // Do your mojo here! 
}

All mysql functions are deprecated. mysqli should be used in all instanced where PDO is not used.
