Re: pg_query_params

No, I mean if I select select a name from the database but the name  
isn't found.  I'm doing a log in form.  I want to check to see if the  
user that's logging in exists in my database.  I can check the number  
of rows returned or something like that, but I wondered if the  
function returns a false.
