如果行数大于0则插入数据不起作用

Question

I have this PHP function which will insert urls into MySQL, but only those which didn't exist until moment of executing. I have a problem, my if condition is simply ignored, so everything goes to database, ignoring the condition. Code is here:

function storeLink($url,$gathered_from) {

    global $conn;   
    $querycheck = "SELECT COUNT(*) FROM test WHERE link = '$url'";
    $resultcheck = mysqli_query($conn, $querycheck);
    $row = mysqli_fetch_array($resultcheck, MYSQLI_ASSOC);

    if($row['COUNT(*)'] < 1);
    {
       echo "<font color='red'>".$row['COUNT(*)']."</font>";
       $url = mysqli_real_escape_string($conn,$url);
       $gathered_from = mysqli_real_escape_string($conn,$gathered_from);
       $query = "INSERT INTO test (link, source) VALUES ('$url', '$gathered_from')";
       mysqli_query($conn,$query) or die('Error, insert query failed');
    }
}

I tried with MySQL count and also with PHP mysqli_num_rows, but still the same. No matter what the condition in if statement is, it simply ignores it. Help please...

function storeLink($url,$gathered_from) {

    global $conn;   
    $querycheck = "SELECT COUNT(*) as CNT FROM test WHERE link = '$url'";
    $resultcheck = mysqli_query($conn, $querycheck);
    $row = mysqli_fetch_array($resultcheck, MYSQLI_ASSOC);

    if($row['CNT'] < 1) {
       echo "<font color='red'>".$row['CNT']."</font>";
       $url = mysqli_real_escape_string($conn,$url);
       $gathered_from = mysqli_real_escape_string($conn,$gathered_from);
       $query = "INSERT INTO test (link, source) VALUES ('$url', '$gathered_from')";
       mysqli_query($conn,$query) or die('Error, insert query failed');
    }
}

OR

function storeLink($url,$gathered_from) {

    global $conn;   
    $querycheck = "SELECT link FROM test WHERE link = '$url'";
    $resultcheck = mysqli_query($conn, $querycheck);
    $row = mysqli_fetch_array($resultcheck, MYSQLI_ASSOC);

    if(mysqli_num_rows($resultcheck)==0) {
       echo "<font color='red'>".mysqli_num_rows($resultcheck)."</font>";
       $url = mysqli_real_escape_string($conn,$url);
       $gathered_from = mysqli_real_escape_string($conn,$gathered_from);
       $query = "INSERT INTO test (link, source) VALUES ('$url', '$gathered_from')";
       mysqli_query($conn,$query) or die('Error, insert query failed');
    }
}
