I want to return true when the number of rows in a table is more than one and show a div with jquery as shown in the jquery code .In addition return false when the number of rows is zero and hide a div as shown in the code below.The php code is executing and returning a correct value but the jquery code is neither showing or hiding a div.I need to show a div when the value returned is true and hide a div when the value returned is false;
**php code** php code for retrieving the number of rows from a table
<?php
require'php/connection.php';//a file for connecting to the database
$user_name=getUserField('user_name');//function for getting the name of the user in session
$query="select `order_id` from `inbox` where `buyer_name`='$user_name'";
$query_run=mysql_query($query);
$num_rows=mysql_num_rows($query_run);
if($num_rows >= 1) {
return true;
} else if($num_rows == 0) {
return false;
}
?>
jquery code Jquery code for either hiding or showing a div
$(document).ready(function() {
$.post('php/ManNotify.php',{},function(data){
if(true) {
$('#notify').show();
} else if(false) {
$('#notify').hide();
}
});
});
