Stop looping of text in else statement

I've added an if statement inside my while loop to show specific data to a specific user, but I would like to add an ELSE statement of echo"No Notifications";. Only it prints this text out over and over for the amount of times I've asked the loop to print results out in the SQL query. How can I stop this so it just shows the else statement the once inside the <div class="notif_ui">div?

while($notificationchant=mysqli_fetch_assoc($chant)){

       if($_SESSION['id']==$notificationchant['notification_targetuser']){
            ?>
            <div class="notif_ui">
            <div class="notif_text">
    <div id="notif_actual_text-<? echo $notificationchant['notification_id'] ?>" class="notif_actual_text">
            <?
             echo "<img border=\"1\" src=\"userimages/cropped".$notificationchant['notification_triggeredby'].".jpg?photo_time=" . time()."\" onerror='this.src=\"userimages/no_profile_img.jpeg\"' width=\"40\" height=\"40\"><a href='".$notificationchant['notification_throughurl']."'>".$notificationchant['notification_content']." </a><br />";
            echo "".Agotime($notificationchant['notification_time']).""; 
            ?>
            </div>
            </div>
            </div>
          <? }}?>

Create a new variable and set it to 0

$didEcho = 0;

Check if the variable is 0 in your else

else if ($didEcho == 0){
    echo 'No Notification';
    $didEcho = 1;    
}

Then in your else change it to 1
