Single record is different indeed as it returns the record object directly. So not a array list first.

Yeah. This will only work for single query.
For multiple records an empty array will always evaluate to true in a JS environment(browser and server) while for PHP an empty array will evaluate to false.
Mistery solved. Sorry @Mozzi I missed you were talking about a multiple result query.

Dont have to say sorry… the main thing is I learned something new… and the end goal is to have a NodeJS application …
Ok… so how would one then handle a FILE UPLOAD CONDITION…
as this also works in php but it ignores it in Node…
To check “condition” that the upload is not 0? Guess not with .count() > 0;
I have tried > 0…
But even if the file field is empty it still removed the file on the server…
I dont want to try a million things as that gets met into trouble… so ill just ask 
What are you trying to check If the file upload step uploaded a file? Or if the user selected a file in the file input?
Also please try to keep separate questions in separate topics.
Hi Teodor. I want to check that the user did not upload a file. If he uploads a file… then process the removal… if the client did not upload anything… but still pressed submit / update… then it wont remove the files online. Thank you. DO you want me to remove this and place it in its own question?
I should have posted the complete screenshot
If the user did upload something… then … it removes the old file and replaces it…
If no file selected… then it skips… the rest
and yes… i know i repeat myself a 100 times…
thank you for the help again
So which of the two you want to check actually?
- check if the upload step uploaded a file
Or
- check if the user selected a file in the file upload input in the form when submitting the form
?
Well you tell me please what the best solution will be?
i know i sound like a broken record… but this is how i have done this … with php for the last 3 years with the tutorials given only. SO im open to both solutions and answers as then i can learn.
So maybe in this instance its better then to check the file selected… ? i dont know… please advise what you would think would work the best.
Well that is why I am asking what exactly do you want to check…
If you want to check if the file is selected in the input then use the post var as a condition.
If you want to check if a file is uploaded by the upload step then check the file upload > name returned by the file upload step.
