I am new to PHP and i am tring to desing a members registration page from the information gattherd on this website. Now the code below may look really bad but please undterstand i am new to all of this. I am trying to get the code to verify if the user already exsist in the database. Right now i can input informatio in the datebase: name, email, password, ect. How would i make it so that the user gets an error message if he is already in the mysql database? Thank for the help ahead of time. Thank you.

Code:

<?php
include 'db.php';

$name = $_POST['name'];
$email = $_POST['email'] ;
$username = $_POST['usernam e'];
$password = $_POST['passwor d'];
$phone_number = $_POST['phone_n umber'];


// check e-mail format

if (!preg_match(&q uot;/.*@.*..*/& quot;, $_POST['email'] ) ||

preg_match(&quo t;/(<|>/" ;, $_POST['email'] )) {

die('Invalid e-mail address.');

}

// now we can add them to the database.

// encrypt password

$insert_query = 'insert into users (
name,
email,
phone_numb er,
username,
password
)
values
(
"' . $_POST['name'] . '",
"' . $_POST['email'] . '",
"' . $_POST['phone_n umber'] . '",
"' . $_POST['usernam e'] . '",
"' . md5($_POST['pas sword']) . '"
)';

mysql_query($in sert_query);



?>
<h1>Regis tered</h1> ;

<p>Thank you, your information has been added to the database,

You can set the name and email feilds to contain unique values, so if a user enters an email address already in the system it errors on the DB side as it's not allowed to have the same email repeated in the email field.

Or do a quick check on the database - if email or name exist show error message else insert.....

I'd write the correction but fringe is on!

The site has a good tutorial for creaing a members area, you should check it out.



Just because I dont care, doesnt mean I dont understand.

I finaly figured it out, but i am runing in to another problem now. when i check my code it keeps going to a new page telling me "invalid email address". I guess is becouse of the email format code. How can i have this message show up on the register page only without displaying a new page? I hope i am being clear enough but i have been working all day trying to figure this out. Here is the code that i have so far:

Code:


<?php

include 'db.php';

//*Define post fields into simple variables
$name = $_POST['name' ];
$email = $_POST['email '];
$phone_number = $_POST['phone_ number'];
$username = $_POST['userna me'];
$password = $_POST ['password'];


// check e-mail format

if (!preg_match(& quot;/.*@.*..*/ ", $_POST['email ']) ||

preg_match(&qu ot;/(<|>/&quo t;, $_POST['email '])) {

die('Invalid e-mail address.');
}


$sql_email_che ck = mysql_query(&q uot;SELECT email FROM users WHERE email='$email '";
$sql_username_ check = mysql_query(&q uot;SELECT username FROM users WHERE username='$use rname'";

$email_check = mysql_num_rows( $sql_email_chec k);
$username_chec k = mysql_num_rows( $sql_username_c heck);

if(($email_che ck > 0) || ($username_chec k > 0)){
echo "Please fix the following errors: <br />";
if($email_che ck > 0){
echo "<stro ng>Your email address has already been used by another member in our database. Please submit a different Email address!<br />";
unset($email );
}
if($username_ check > 0){
echo "The username you have selected has already been used by another member in our database. Please choose a different Username!<br />";
unset($usern ame);
}
include 'register form.html'; // Show the form again!
exit(); // exit the script so that we do not create this account!
}

// now we can add them to the database.

// encrypt password

$insert_query = 'insert into users (
name,
email,
phone_numb er,
username,
password
)
values
(
"' . $_POST['name' ] . '",
"' . $_POST['email '] . '",
"' . $_POST['phone_ number'] . '",
"' . $_POST['userna me'] . '",
"' . md5($_POST['pa ssword']) . '"
)';

mysql_query($in sert_query);

$subject = "Your Membership at BloodyShirts.co m!";
$message = "Dear $first_name $last_name,

Maybe set the form action to PHP_Self so that it loads the same page. On error, display appropriately, and display form. This is how its done in the members system article here.

I am sorry for asking such a stupid question but how do i do that? Do I write it out in the code? Or is it a option that i have to select? I am using adobe Dreamweaver CS3 to write out the code. If i do write it out in the code where would i put it?

Please try to use bbcode when posting your code, otherwise your posts are an eye sore and it makes the code difficult to interpret. It also keep's the emoticons from appearing in your code.

With that being said, it seems clear to me that you're still not following the article.

If you want my recommendation, it would be to build your script exactly like the Members System article. Once you get that working, start customizing it into what you need.
