Question

I’m back once again, trying to create a “custom” blog system. Or a CMS, as people call it. This is my current code:

<?php
//include stuff here
$pid = $_GET['pageid'];
$data = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM entries WHERE id='$pid'") or die("MySQL died.");
mysql_real_escape_string($pid);
while($info = mysql_fetch_array( $data )) 
{
if (!empty($info)) {
echo $info['data'];
}
else {
echo 'This page no existo.';
}
}
?>

What’s happening is that it’s not showing “This page no existo.” as the ‘404’ text.
Lets say someone is trying to go to my site directly typing it but make a mistake:
localhost/blog/?pageid=10
It doesn’t show the 404 text!

I have a row named “data” in MySQL. It consists of the– um… data of the blog post. I also have a row called ID which is an auto increment ID system. The “real”, working page ID is 1.

Thanks,
RBLXDev.

EDIT:
Vardump of $info:
The vardump:

array (size=10)
0 => string '1' (length=1)
'id' => string '1' (length=1)
1 => string 'Testing potatoCMS... and the title.' (length=35)
'title' => string 'Testing potatoCMS... and the title.' (length=35)
2 => string 'This is a test.
This is a new line.
This is a cookie.
You are getting fat.
FAT.<br />lol' (length=88)
'data' => string 'This is a test.
This is a new line.
This is a cookie.
You are getting fat.
FAT.<br />lol' (length=88)
3 => string '2013-02-02' (length=10)
'date' => string '2013-02-02' (length=10)
4 => string 'Unspecified' (length=11)
'author' => string 'Unspecified' (length=11)

Yeah, um… I have weird placeholders.

Id try something like this….

<?php

        $pid = $_GET['pageid'];
        mysql_real_escape_string($pid);

        $data = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM entries WHERE id='$pid'") or die("MySQL died.");

        $num_rows = mysql_num_rows($data);

        if ($num_rows == NULL) {

              echo 'This page no existo.';

        } else {

                  $info = mysql_fetch_array( $data );
                  echo $info['data'];
        }
?>
