Question

what would be the proper implementation of displaying an empty/blank table or just the table header if query result is empty?

**note/conditions
no page redirection
no creation of two tables, one for query with empty result and one for query with results

or is there a much, much better way to do this?
here is a sample code:

<?php if(isset($result)){ ?>  
<table>
<tr>
    <td>Name</td>
    <td>Email</td>
</tr>  

<?php foreach($result as $key => $data){?>
<tr>  
    <td><?php echo $data['name'];?></td>  
    <td><?php echo $data['email_add'];?></td>   
</tr>   
<?php }?>
</table>
<?php } ?>

the problem here is that it still throws an error on foreach loop.

Answer 1

When the query result returns false return an empty array instead

I hope this help , and ready for more help if needed
