Question

I have a simple question regarding PHP to check if this is the last row of MySQL or not. For example I have this code :

$result = mysql_query("SELECT *SOMETHING* ");

while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))
{
if (*this is the last row*)
{/* Do Something Here*/}
else
{/* Do Another Thing Here*/}
}

I have difficulties to check if the row is the last one or not. Any idea how to do it? Thanks.

You can use mysqli_num_rows() prior to your while loop, and then use that value for your condition:

$numResults = mysqli_num_rows($result);
$counter = 0
while ($row = mysqli_fetch_array($result)) {
    if (++$counter == $numResults) {
        // last row
    } else {
        // not last row
    }
}
