Question

Somehow, my code is executing both the if and the else code!

$q = "SELECT id FROM ".TBL_VOTECOUNT." WHERE voteid = '$mainid' AND voterid = '$_SESSION[id]'";
$result = $database->query($q);
if (mysql_num_rows($result) > 0) {

}
else {

}

The code for $database->query is

function query($query){
   return mysql_query($query, $this->connection);
}

Is there any reason why this code should run both the if and else blocks?

Answer 1

How can you tell that it is executing both? The code itself does not seem to have a problem.
I suggest trying the following

if (mysql_num_rows($result) > 0) {
  echo ":-)";
}
else {
  echo ":-(";
}

Do you get a happy face, an unhappy face or both?
