Hi everyone
I would like to add a filter that will check a name in the database, If name does not exist then it should add [Not Registered] to the name
I tried to write the code in blue but I get an error, can someone help

mysql_numrows($result);
if($num > 0){
$name_exist = "$BloomName is a Registered Cultivar. Please Rename your Cultivar.";
echo $name_exist;
exit;
} else {
$name_ok = "$BloomName is not a Registered Cultivar. You may register as $BloomName.";

$pod_reg = "$PodName";
exit;
} else
$pod_reg = "$PodName+[Not Registered]";

}

Well, to do what you want to do (I think) edit the code like this:

else
$pod_reg = $PodName . ' [Not Registered]';

The "." concatenates the string so it will out the variable and then the sceond part, i.e:

$PodName = 'Schmoopy';

This will output : Schmoopy [Not Registered]

Hope this helps.

Hi
I get the following error, where is it?

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected $end in /home1/internb7/public_html/icra/form2.php on line 1555

if($num > 0){
$name_exist = "$BloomName is a Registered Cultivar. Please Rename your Cultivar.";
echo $name_exist;
exit;
} else {
$name_ok = "$BloomName is not a Registered Cultivar. You may register as $BloomName.";
if($num > 0){
$pod_exist = "$PodName";
exit;
} else {
$pod_reg = $PodName . ' [Not Registered]';
}

You didn't end one of your conditional statements:

} else {
$name_ok = "$BloomName is not a Registered Cultivar. You may register as $BloomName.";
}

Change your code to the above, or you can take out the curly braces all together, as you don't need them for a one line command.

Hi
Thanks for your help, now it works, but I realize that $podreg is not in the database therefore I only get [Not Registered] echo without the name, can I add a code that gets the name from the PodName text field in the form? if so how

if($num > 0){
$name_exist = "$BloomName is a Registered Cultivar. Please Rename your Cultivar.";
echo $name_exist;
exit;
} else {
$name_ok = "$BloomName is not a Registered Cultivar. You may register as $BloomName.";}

if($num > 0){
$pod_exist = "$PodName";

} else {
$podreg = $Pod_Name . ' [Not Registered]';}
