How can I Retrieve a record in mysql?

hello everyone! I have a problem with my login code… I have here a code that deals with an empty result set in mysql… I have already dealt with that problem. However, I got into another problem which is the retrieval of a record if the result set is not empty… I am hoping for your reply… thanks!

if($row=mysql_num_rows($result)==0){
    echo "EMPTY";
}
else{
while($row=mysql_fetch_assoc($result)){
    $userID=$row['id_num'];
    $userName=$row['name'];
    $userPass=$row['password'];
    echo "<form action='index.php' method='POST'>";
    echo "<input type='hidden' name='userID' value='$userID'>";
    echo "<input type='hidden' name='userName' value='$userName'>";
    echo "<input type='hidden' name='userPass' value='$userPass'>";
    echo "</form>";
}

$userID=isset($_POST[‘userID’]) ? $_POST[‘userID’] :"";
$userPass=isset($_POST[‘userPass’]) ? $_POST[‘userPass’] :"";
$userName=isset($_POST[‘userName’]) ? $_POST[‘userName’] :"";

echo “JUST CHECKING—<br>input: $id<br>$pass2<br>Table:$userID<br>$userPass<br>—<br>”;

    if($userID==""&&$userPass){
    echo "&lt;br&gt;No Entry";
    }
    if($pass2!=$userPass){//password field is empty or mismatch
    echo "Passwords do not match";
    }
    if($id!=$userID){
    echo "&lt;br&gt;ID numbers do not match";
    }
    else{
    echo "Welcome $userName";
    }

}
