Hi there... I have a simple search page (mysql database), and I can get it to display the results no issues, but i was wondering how I could display a message stating there were no results, instead of just having the field blank. I am familiar with IF and ELSE statements, but I am not sure how to test the "no result" option from the results of a SQL query.... thanks! dDepends on how you're recieving your results... function doSearch ( $string ) { $sql = "SELECT *.....blah, blah more code; if ( $result = .... return $result; } else { return false; } } if ( $search = doSearch ( $terms ) ) { // display results } else { // display no results found } -- John C.
