Before, it was succeeding on `strlen($db_res) > 0` because - like an array - when called as a string, it was evaluating to its variable type. For example: <?php $a = array('soo' => 'per', 'doo' => 'per'); echo $a; // Prints: Array $b = new fakeClass(); // Presuming this class exists echo $b; // Used to print: Object id #1 ?> -- </Daniel P.
