Is the following statement the best way to handle a username/password
validation
$username and $password are form fields
$result="";
$result= mysql_query (" Select password from ACCT_TBLE where (ACCT_NUM =
'$username' and PASSWORD='$password')");
Now my question is will result be equal to "" if the query statement doesn't
return any data?
thanks
