mysql_num_rows() to a result that returned zero rows returns 'Supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource'. If it is an invalid resource (such as SELECT * from table to an empty table), shouldn't it return ZERO (0). That seems to make the most sense, as opposed to throwing an error. if (mysql_num_rows($result) != 0) seems to be useful, but it doesn't work because of this. I realize I can put an "@' symbol, but i just think it should return zero. -- Mike
