如果else语句没有用$ query-> num_rows（）触发

I have two MySQL queries to fetch data from a table.

Individually, the if ($query_one->num_rows() > 0) and/or if ($query_two->num_rows() > 0) work perfectly.

The Problem: However, when used in an elseif statement only the first query $query_one->num_rows() fetches data. If the first query has no results, the second query $query_two->num_rows() should trigger?

if ($query_one->num_rows() > 0)
    {
        return $query_one->row(0)->total;
    }
    else if($query_two->num_rows() > 0)
    {
        return $query_two->row(0)->total;
    }

    return 0;

I know there are posts on stackoverflow that show the correct way to implementing an elseif statement with queries, but I have already read them.

Thanks in advance

Try this way so that you would know where it goes:

if ($query_one->num_rows() > 0)
{
    echo "query_one run";
    return $query_one->row(0)->total;
}
else 
{
    if($query_two->num_rows() > 0)
    {
       echo "query_two run";
       return $query_two->row(0)->total;
    }
    else
   {
      echo "nothing to return";
      return 0;
   }
}

Just remove the echo when you find out what is wrong. Maybe both the query does not return anything.
