If syntax

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Take a look at my if ( ) syntax line below.  I am wondering if I have it
wrong in same way.  What I am trying to achieve is if the alias the user
enters is already found in the database I want the words "Alias already in
use" to be shown on the screen; otherwise "Unique alias" to be shown on the
screen.

PRESENTLY alias already in use is what comes up all the time.

mysql_connect(localhost,$username,$password);
@mysql_select_db($database) or die( "Unable to select database");
$query="SELECT * FROM tablename WHERE alias LIKE '$alias%'";

if (mysql_query($query))

{

echo "Alias already in use";

} else {

echo "Unique alias";

mysql_close();

}
