PHP Recordset and EOF - php

Question

I feel like I know this, but am getting frustrated that I can't remember exactly how to do this.
In PHP, I need to repeat items of a record set in a unordered list. I can repeat items fine, but I don't want anything to show if the record set is empty. Right now, if there is no record, the code is still displaying a blank list item, when I just want nothing to appear.
I have tried this:
<?php do { ?>
<li>Content Goes Here</li>
<?php } while (!feof($recordsetName) && $row_recordsetName = mysql_fetch_assoc($recordsetName)); ?>
And I have tried doing it this way by putting the repeating element withing an if/else statement like this:
<?php if (!feof($recordsetName)) {
echo ""; }
else do { ?>
<li>Content Goes Here</li>
<?php } while ($row_recordsetName = mysql_fetch_assoc($recordsetName));
; } ?>
But that isn't working either. Any information would be helpful

Answer 1

while($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($recordsetName)) {
if($row['fieldname'] != '') {
echo '<li>Content Goes Here</li>';
}
}
or you could check if the query was successful...
$result = mysql_query($sql);
if($result) {
echo '<li>Content Goes Here</li>';
}
or if it returned any results...
$results = mysql_fetch_assoc($recordsetName);
if(mysql_num_rows($results) > 0) {
while($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($results)) {
echo '<li>Content Goes Here</li>';
}
}
Also, you should really be using mysqli or PDO, as mysql is depreciated.
Edit: added loop in example 3.
