while loop mysql_num_rows

[fugix]

ok guys, im going out the door so forgive me for not showing any code..but I have a while loop whithin a while loop to display rows for two different id's. I have a mysql_num_rows vaiable set that displays 0 because there are 0 rows with the userid of 1...then it displays 2 because there are 2 rows with the userid of 3..now what i want to do is find a way to omit the return of 0 so that i can use the return of 2 alone. sorry if im not clear enough.

heres a snippet quick

 

while($friend_query_array = mysql_fetch_assoc($friend_query)) {

$friend_id = $friend_query_array['friend_id_array'];
$query = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM events WHERE userid=$friend_id ORDER BY id DESC");
$queryrow = mysql_num_rows($query);

 

if i echo $queryrow i get  02 for the two times that it checks the num rows

If all you're trying to do is suppress the echo for an empty result set, only allow it if mysql_num_rows() > 0.

 

echo mysql_num_rows($result_) > 0 ? 'At least one record returned' : '';
