Question

I have a question for you.
I am creating an administration panel, this is the first time for me, and I have some problems.

1. Problem
I am using mysqli_fetch_assoc() in this way:

    $row_cnt = mysqli_fetch_assoc($result);
        printf('Result set has %d rows.<br />', $row_cnt);

    if ($row_cnt['COUNT(id)'] == 0) {
       return false;
    } else {
       return true;
    }

I use this to see if in the DB there are some entries, it returns 1 everytime, whatever thing I insert in the fields. I thought that it has to return 0 if there are no entry in the DB, am I wrong?

---

Please be patient, this is my first login page with admin panel.

Just from taking a quick peek –

mysql_real_escape_string requires a connection to be established via mysql_connect, you need to use the mysqli_real_escape… function – http://php.net/manual/en/mysqli.real-escape-string.php
