php mysql user login show user exists -
i'm going through vid tutorial on creating user reg & login form in php , mysql.
the following script should echo 'exists' on login.php form, shows blank (indicating user not exist, when , s in fact username on db)
<?php function user_exists($username) { $username = sanitize($username); $query = mysql_query("select * `users` `username` = '$username'"); return (mysql_result($query, 0) == 1) ? true : false; } ?> the login form portion of code goes follows:
if (user_exists('andy') === true) { echo 'exists'; } die(); am missing syntax or obvious?? here link vid tutorial if helps http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=til3ovnlho4
why not this?
<?php function user_exists($username) { $username = sanitize($username); $query = mysql_query("select * `users` `username` = '$username'"); $exists = mysql_num_rows($query) == 1 ? 1 :0; return $exists; } ?>
