Hey I'm really new to PHP and PostgreSQP or any database in that matter. So I'm at a loss how to do this.

I need an if statement that says.

If(the username user just typed in is already in database) {
  my code here
}

the variable the username that the user just typed in is $userNameSignup

how would I do that with PHP for PostgreSQL?

also how might I redirect people to a new page once they have completed the form properly?

Thanks Shelby
