pg_result

[ryanne cruz <ryanne.cruz@xxxxxxxxx>]

hi list.  
 
this is my script: 
 
$query7="select provinceid from province where province like '$tablename1';"; 
$result7=pg_exec($conn,$query7); 
if(!$result7){ 
	. 
	. 
	.} 
else	{ 
	. 
	. 
	. 
	} 
 
my problem is when the value of the variable $tablename1 is not on the table 
province, it doesn't go to the if statements. what am i doing wrong? 
 
thanks!
