Hoe controleer ik of MySQL-resultaten leeg zijn geretourneerd in PHP?

<?php
$servername = "localhost";
$username = "username";
$password = "password";
$dbname = "myDB";
$conn = new mysqli($servername, $username, $password, $dbname);

$sql = "SELECT id, firstname, lastname FROM MyGuests";
$result = $conn->query($sql);
if ($result->num_rows > 0) {
    while ($row = $result->fetch_assoc()) {
        echo "id: " . $row["id"] . " - Name: " . $row["firstname"] . " " . $row["lastname"] . "<br>";
    }
} else {
    echo "0 results";
}
$conn->close();
?>
