And what is the result of this function when the result of the query is the empty set?
ie:
$sql = "select user_id from users where name = 'funny guy'";
if(!$res = mysql_query($sql, $db)) {
die("db err");
}
$user_id = mysql_result($res, 0);
---> what is $user_id when there are no users in the database table by the name of 'funny
guy'?
Generally speaking, I wish the documentation would point out things like this much more. Yes I can
just "try it out", but the docuementation should state this kind of thing much more
clearly.
