Check if table is empty

[eluser]Volkof[/eluser]
Hi,

Can anyone guide me on how to check if a returned table is empty?
I used this:

Code:

<?php
   foreach($programmes as $row){
    if(!(empty($row))){
     echo '<a class="'.$row-&gt;programmeID.'" href="/index.php/test/getModules/'. $row-&gt;programmeID.'">';
     echo '<b>'.$row->programmeName.'</b><br/>';
     echo '<br/></a>';  
    }else{
     echo 'No Programmes found!';
    }
   }
  ?&gt;

but the if(!(empty($row))) does not seems to work.
