Question

I have the following mysql query that returns data in a JSON. What’s the best way to check if there are 0 records, and return that fact?

$row_num = mysql_num_rows($rslt);
$data = array();
while ( $row = mysql_fetch_row($result) )
{
    $data[] = $row;     
}   
echo json_encode( $data );

Answer 1

$row_num = mysql_num_rows($rslt);
$data = array();
while ( $row = mysql_fetch_row($result) )
{
    $data[] = $row;     
}   
if(!$data){
   echo "This is the government. We have removed your database!";
} else {
    echo json_encode( $data );
}
