Register page Help.

Look at the 2nd code I posted. When I try to register an account that already exists it cuts off this part of the HTML Code(The First Code I posted). Does any one know how to make it not cut off that part?

[b] {
         exit("$frmName exists please choose another username");

      }       
If (MySQL_DB_Query("coproj", "INSERT INTO accounts SET AccountID='".MySQL_Real_Escape_String($_POST["name"], $Server)."', LogonType='2', Status='6'")) {
  			Echo "Registration successfully!<br>The Password will be the one which you type at your first Login! Have fun!";
          } Else {
            Echo "Registration failed!";
          }

        } Else {

The problem is that you exit the script execution if there's a row found here:

 

      if(mysql_num_rows($sQuery) > 0 ) 
     [b] {
         exit("$frmName exists please choose another username");

      }   

 

When you exit, the script stops completely. Nothing else will be executed or output to the screen. Your best bet is probably to rethink your logic a touch.

Iv, tried every thing. It either messes the whole page up or it gives me a error. Not sure what to do. Is there a Code I could put in there to make it continue the page?

As a rough skeleton, you want to do something like this:

 

$sql = "SELECT COUNT(*) FROM yourtable WHERE username='$username'";
$result = mysql_query($sql);
if(mysql_result($result,0)==0){
    //username doesn't exist
    //insert username into database
    //display successful registration message
}else{
    //tell user that username already exists
}
//rest of html is shown here

 

Notice that i don't exit at any point. I simply use an if-else statement to control the flow so that the username is only inserted if it doesn't exist.
