Private Messaging [PHP]

[wsg14]

I'm learning PHP, so I'm just making this simple system.

So what I want to happen is: if the user has no private messages it displays a message. Otherwise it shows the messages (haven't done that yet). I just want some confirmation that the code will work, and if it doesn't what's worng with it.

<?php

$query = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM `private_messages` WHERE `id` = '".$sess_id."' ORDER BY date DESC");
$pm_count = mysql_num_rows($query);

if($pm_count == 0){
    echo 'You do not have any messages at this time.';
} else{
    wotev;
}

?>

+rep

wotev; isn't going to work

but yes, that looks like it should work.

Alright, thanks.

What I don't understand is ... why post something like that?

Surely it would be easier to test it yourself to see if there are any errors than to ask a community?

Next time DIY. But yes, that will work.

Edit// Why say +rep when you don't have any rep power.

You forget Mr Mingle. He knows everything.

Sorry, are you trying to argue?

[Dentafrice]

Yes, I would like to know "how do you know he is doing it for his postcount?".

How hard is that to comprehend?

You really didn't need to make another pointless post, asking me if I wanted to argue.. when you could have simply answered the blooming question.
