note 49375 added to function.mysql-query

I think it's important to note (for newbies, like me especially) that an empty result is not the same as an error: <?php /* 'bar' is an empty table in the db */ $rs = mysql_query("SELECT foo FROM bar") if($rs) { echo mysql_num_rows($rs); //outputs: 0 } /* malformed query /* $rs = mysql_query("SELECT foo FRO bar"); if($rs) { echo "This will never be echoed"; } ?> ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.mysql-query.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+49375 Delete: added to the manual -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+49375&report=yes&reason=added+to+the+manual Delete: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+49375&report=yes&reason=bad+code Delete: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+49375&report=yes&reason=spam Delete: useless -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+49375&report=yes&reason=useless Delete: other reasons -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+49375&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+49375&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
