mysql if empty

If I search for something in mysql that returns an empty result I cant get it to return
"No result found" always returns "Found" even though the recoed does not exist...


$sql = "SELECT Client FROM booked WHERE Name = 'larry'";

$result = mysql_query($sql);

if ($result == "")
{
echo "No result found";
}
echo "Found";

As with most things these days it probably breaches the DMCA. But frankly speaking, if doing that works then the developers of the application, and by extension the company, deserve everything they get.

DMCA is a real piece of crap.
