How do I return a message if $_GET is null or does not match any database entries?
- by CT
I am working on designing an IT Asset database. Here I am working on a page used to view details on a specific asset determined by an asset id.
Here I grab $id from $_GET["id"];
When $id is null, the page does not load. When $id does not match any entry within the database, the page loads but no asset table is printed.
In both these cases, I would like to display a message like "There is no database entry for that Asset ID"
How would this be handled? Thank you.
<?php
/*
* View Asset
*
*/
# include functions script
include "functions.php";
$id = $_GET["id"];
ConnectDB();
$type = GetAssetType($id);
?>
