check for several conditions when a user logs in
- by paul
I would like to accomplish the following:
If a username or password field is null, notify the user. If user name already exists, do not insert into the database and notify user to create a different name. if the username is unique and password is not null, return the username to the user.
As of now it always returns "Please enter a different user name." I believe the issue has to do with the database query but I am not sure. If anyone can have a look and see if I am making an error, I greatly appreciate it, thanks.
if ($userName or $userPassword = null)
{
echo "Please enter a user name and password or return to the homepage.";
}
elseif (mysql_num_rows(mysql_query("SELECT count(userName) FROM logininfo WHERE userName = '$userName'")) ==1)
{
echo "Please enter a different user name.";
}
elseif ($userName and $userPassword != null)
{
echo "Your login name is: $userName";
}
