Newbie question.
I'm working my way through IBM's PHP tutorial. Generally good ... but
I'm stuck at an error point and have no idea what's going wrong.
Before adding a new row to the mysql database (already opened) we do a
query to see if a particular record already exists.
(see $resultT).
We then test, using if, to see if $resultT is true or false. If it's
false we are then supposed to enter a new record.
Problem: it's never false. It always evaluates true. What am I doing
wrong? TIA
/* build query to see if the record is entered already */
$sqlT = "select * from users where username='".$_POST["name"]."'";
$resultT = mysql_query($sqlT);
/* Now test -- did we find anything ... if not add this user */
if (! $resultT) {
/* here we add the new record if it doesn't already exit /*
