How can one determine if a MySQL query returns a record in PHP?

To determine if a MySQL query returns a record in PHP, you can check the number of rows returned by the query using the mysqli_num_rows() function. If the number of rows is greater than 0, it means that the query returned a record. 

// Assuming $conn is the mysqli connection object and $query is the MySQL query
$result = $conn->query($query);

if ($result->num_rows > 0) {
    // Query returned a record
    // Process the record here
} else {
    // Query did not return any record
}
