Codeigniter - Return False Help

[StudioFive]

I am trying to display a drop down menu pulling entries from the database but if there is no Rows if throws PHP error?

Can someone please help me figure out have to return a separate result if no rows exist? I need it to display a link to a form if no menu items exist.

Thanks in advance.

[php]

Model:

<?php class Menu_model extends CI_Model { function menuStones(){ // Parent Menu $cid = $this->session->userdata('cid'); $this->db->select('id, name'); $this->db->where('cid', '15'); $this->db->where('active', '1'); $this->db->order_by('id', 'asc'); $query = $this->db->get('stone_types'); if ($query->num_rows() > 0) { foreach ($query->result() as $row) { $data[]=$row; } return $data; }else{ return false; } } } ?>

[/php]

Controller:
[php]

<?php class Menu extends CI_Controller { function index(){ $this->load->model('menu_model'); $data['row'] = $this->menu_model->menuStones(); $data = $this->menu_model->menuStones(); $this->load->view('main', $data); } } ?>

[/php]

View:
[php]

Stones

<?php if ($data = false): ?>

					     <li><a href="<?php echo $this->load->view('add-stone'); ?>">Add Stone Type</a></li>
                    
                    <?php else: ?>
					
					<?php foreach ($row as $r):?>
                        
                         <li><a href="<?php echo site_url($r->id); ?>"><?php echo $r->name; ?></a></li>
                        
                    <?php endforeach; ?> 
                    <?php endif; ?>
                    
				</ul>
			</li>
