Ah, what a lovely case of the Friday morning brain farts!

I have a query that selects some data from a table based on the current ID
selected.

If the query does not return any results, I want it to continue to another
query that will insert a record into the table.

Dan:

I wouldn't check for an empty array, but rather if affected rows > 0 -- like so:

// check to see if there is a record for this page
$query = "SELECT * FROM pages WHERE page_id = $page_id";
$result = mysql_query($query) or die('Error, query 1 failed ' . mysql_error(). $query);
$seg = mysql_real_escape_string($segment);

if (mysql_affected_rows() > 0)       // if record exist then add data to it
        {
$query = "UPDATE pages SET segment_id= '$seg' WHERE page_id= '$page_id' "; $result = mysql_query($query) or die('Error, query 2 failed ' . $query);
        }
else            // else create new record and then add data to it
        {
$query = "INSERT INTO pages ($page_id, segment_id) VALUES ( '$page_id' , '$seg' )"; $result = mysql_query($query) or die('Error, query 3 failed ' . mysql_error());
        }

Cheers,
