Question

I’m running the following query but $new returns 0:

$count = mysql_query("SELECT COUNT(*) FROM flagged WHERE status=0") or die(mysql_error()); 
$new = mysql_fetch_row($count);

if ($new != 0) {
            echo "<script language=\"javascript\">$.titleAlert(\"New Logs - ($new[0])\");</script>";
        }

Problem is the if-condition keeps getting met when it shouldn’t when $new != 0

I even tried:

if ($new > 0) {
//update title about new logs
}

Either way, the title is still updated and I’m not sure why.

New Logs – (0)

Answer 1

just do

var_dump($new);

and you’ll see why your if doesn’t work
