Please help it s driving me up the wall...i ve written a database search, it works fine but i would like to add a line that says how many records the search found...something like eg 0 matches found!..because i need to be able to show that no results were found.....here's my code so far

<?require('SQL_Utils.php');

$searchTerm=@($_POST['searchTerm']);
$dbConn = getDatabaseConnection();

if(empty($searchTerm)){
echo 'Search field is empty';
}else{

$query = "SELECT * FROM TBL_info WHERE name||town LIKE '%$searchTerm%'";
$result = runQuery($query, $dbConn);
$output = wrapResult ($result);
disconnectFromDatabase($dbConn);
}
?>
then in theSQLUtils page:
<?
$dbConn = connectWithDatabase('localhost:3306', 'db', 'user', 'pass');

function connectWithDatabase($host, $database, $username, $password) {
$dbConn = mysql_connect($host, $username, $password)
or die ('Could not Connect!!: ' .mysql_error());
mysql_select_db($database);
return $dbConn;
}

function disconnectFromDatabase($dbConn) {
mysql_close ($dbConn);
}

function getDatabaseConnection() {
global $dbConn;
return $dbConn;
}
function runQuery ($SQL, $dbConn) {
return mysql_query($SQL, $dbConn);
}
function wrapResult($result) {
while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result, MYSQL_NUM)) {
echo "<table width=450 border=2 bordercolor=#003366 align=center cellpadding=18><tr><td>Name: $row[1] <br> Address: $row[2] <br> $row[3] <br> $row[4] $row[6]<br> Zone: $row[5] <br> Telephone: $row[10] <br> Mobile: $row[11] <br> Category: $row[7] <br> Description: $row[8] <br> Products/Services: $row[10] <br> email: $row[12] <br> Url: $row[13] <br> Fax: $row[14]</td></tr></table>";
