Check into the PHP PostgreSQL funtion pg_numrows docs at php.net (or pg_num_rows, the name has recently changed depending on which version PHP you are using). I usually query, then check the number of rows and loop through them only if something is returned, else I print out a 'Nothing Found' type of message. brew
