I have code like this, it shows data when tehre is data but if there is no data i want to say "no records"

where am i going wrong?

<?php
require_once('db_conf.php');

$sql = "SELECT * FROM tbl_holidayspecials WHERE fld_country = '$countryname' AND fld_state = '$statename' AND fld_city = '$cityname'";
$result = mysql_query($sql);

if (!$result) {
  
echo "No Records";

}

while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)) {

		   $ids = $row["id"];
		   $hotelname = $row["fld_destination"];
	
echo $hotelname;
}

use mysql_num_rows

if (mysql_num_rows($result) == 0) {
    echo "No records found";
}
