How to check table cell in database and output results? - php

Question

I am bit new to php and sql.
I am simply reading from a database table and echoing images to a page. The images are then styled with a text aligned in the middle saying 'Play Video'.
In the table 'adcTable' some entries do not have a video stored.
I would like to have the rows/entries with video say 'Play Video' and the ones without just show the image.
Not to sure how bess to explain. Hope to get some assistance.
<php
$sql = "SELECT client_id, images, video FROM adcTable";
$result = $conn->query($sql);
$count = 1;
echo "<table border = '0' width='720'><tr>";
while($row = $result->fetch_assoc()) {
echo "<td><div class='ccontainer'>"; ?><img class="cimage" src= "<?php echo $row ["images"];?> " ><?php echo "
<div class='middle'>
<div class='text'>Play Video</div>
</div>
</div>
</td>";
if ($count++ % 2 == 0) {
echo "</tr><tr>";
}
echo "</tr></table>";
?>

Thanks guys, I was able to use the example provided by BusinessPlanQuickBuilder to solve.
$sql = "SELECT client_id, files, file FROM adcTable";
$result = $conn->query($sql);
$count = 1;
echo "<table border = '0' width='720'><tr>";
while($row = $result->fetch_assoc()) {
if ($row['file'] == "VidUploads/"){
echo "<td>"; ?><img class="cimage" src= "<?php echo $row ["files"];?> " ><?php echo "
</td>";
echo '<script type="text/javascript">',
'$( ".text" ).css( "border", "3px solid red" );',
'</script>';
} else{
echo "<td><div class='ccontainer'>"; ?><img class="cimage" src= "<?php echo $row ["files"];?> " ><?php echo "
<div class='middle'>
<div class='text'>Video</div>
</div>
</div>
</td>";
}
if ($count++ % 2 == 0) {
echo "</tr><tr>";
}
}
echo "</tr></table>";
?>

Use if empty condition on video column. This is the fundamental code, add your formatting as required.
<?php
while($row = $result->fetch_assoc()) {
if (empty ($row['video']) ) {
echo $row ["images"];
} else {
echo "Play Video";
}
}
?>
