Code:

function usernameTaken($username){
   global $conn;
   if(!get_magic_quotes_gpc()){
      $username = addslashes($username);
   }
   $q = "select username from ".$users_db." where username = '$username'";
   $result = mysql_query($q);
   return (mysql_numrows($result) > 0);
}

 

I am getting an error for "mysql_numrows"

 

Sorry, I can't read it.. It goes by too fast.

 

Any help? ;)

mysql_num_rows, perhaps?

LOL....

 

^^:D

 

They are the same thing..

 

 

And I got a screenshot of the error lol

 

Warning: mysql_num_rows(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result in /home/cory/htdocs/massattack/login/register.php on line 16

 

Line 16 is return (mysql_numrows($result) > 0);

Well, technically, isn't mysql_numrows() deprecated?

 

Anyways, change:

$result = mysql_query($q);

to:

$result = mysql_query($q) or die(mysql_error());

 

 

You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'where username = user' at line 1

 

This is the only place that has 'where username = '

 

function usernameTaken($username){
   global $conn;
   if(!get_magic_quotes_gpc()){
      $username = addslashes($username);
   }
   $q = "select username from $users_db where username = $username";
   $result = mysql_query($q) or die(mysql_error());
   return (mysql_num_rows($result) > 0);
}

I just realized that I didn't do "global $user_db;", that was the problem...

 

Anyways, now it is bringing me to the failure page, no mysql errors at all...

   $result = mysql_query($q) or die(mysql_error());
   return (mysql_num_rows($result) > 0);
}
