How to add a filter

[jd57]

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){ 
    $name_exist = "<font size=5>$BloomName is a Registered Cultivar. Please Rename your Cultivar.</font>"; 
    echo $name_exist;
    exit;
 } else {
    $name_ok = "<font size=5>$BloomName is not a Registered Cultivar. You may register as $BloomName.</font>";
    

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

 }[/COLOR]

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){ 
    $name_exist = "<font size=5>$BloomName is a Registered Cultivar. Please Rename your Cultivar.</font>"; 
    echo $name_exist;
    exit;
 } else {
    $name_ok = "<font size=5>$BloomName is not a Registered Cultivar. You may register as $BloomName.</font>";
if($num > 0){
   $pod_exist = "$PodName"; 
    exit;
 } else {
   $pod_reg = $PodName . ' [Not Registered]';
}

You didn't end one of your conditional statements:

 } else {
    $name_ok = "<font size=5>$BloomName is not a Registered Cultivar. You may register as $BloomName.</font>";
} 

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){ 
    $name_exist = "<font size=5>$BloomName is a Registered Cultivar. Please Rename your Cultivar.</font>"; 
    echo $name_exist;
    exit;
 } else {
    $name_ok = "<font size=5>$BloomName is not a Registered Cultivar. You may register as $BloomName.</font>";}

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

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