Guys,

I solved it.
I put this in the beginning:
$nr = mysql_num_rows($sql); // Get total of Num rows from the database
query
if ($nr){ // if we found any records we will proceed

If the query returns 0 records we pass all the code and just say "No
records found".

The only problem I still have is when I load the page first time I get
an error saying:
Notice: Undefined index
Somehow on this line:

if (($_POST['listByq'] == "newest_members")) {

listByq has not been defined.
Can I declare it at the top of the page?
