got it...rather than return false, mysql_result throws an error if the query returns nothing. What a pain.
NOT True.
If the query is syntactically valid and nothing matches, mysql returns zero rows which is not an error, at least on the part of the dbms. Use mysql_num_rows() to test for this condition.
