Displaying message when no results found in PHP MySQL search

Question

I have a PHP search script which queries a MySQL database. Currently, when no results are displayed the script shows and error. How can I make it display a message like \"No

Answer 1

How about a simple counter in the while statement:

$i = 0;

while (condition) {
   $i++;
   do stuff;
}

if ($i ==0) {echo 'No results found';}
