Don't insert into database if variable matches string

Hi, I'm trying to prevent strings that read "Favourite" or" 2nd Favourite" from being inserted into my database.

I've looked at the manual and I think that i'm using == correctly.  Perhaps i'm going wrong elsewhere?

 

 

 <?php  if ($mysqli->connect_error) {die('Connect Error: ' . $mysqli->connect_error);}
					
if ($stmt = $mysqli->query("SELECT * FROM races WHERE name = '$name' and race = '$race' ")) {
                        $row_cnt = $stmt->num_rows;	
                        $stmt->close();}
                    
                    if ($row_cnt > 0) {	
                   $stmt = $mysqli->prepare("UPDATE races SET odds = ?, race = ? WHERE name = ?"); 
                   $stmt->bind_param('sss', $odds, $race, $name);
                   $stmt->execute();
                   $stmt->close();  }

                     else if (($name !== "Favourite") OR ($name !== "2nd Favourite")) {
                    $stmt = $mysqli->prepare("INSERT INTO races VALUES (?, ?, ?)");
                    $stmt->bind_param('sss', $name, $odds, $race);
                    $stmt->execute();
                    $stmt->close();  } 
					} 
                   } 
                  } 
	             } else { 
	
	?>

Ah thanks Jessica.

 

I think somthing else is wrong aswell.

It let's in 2nd Favourite and adds it many many times.

 

I'm trying to put the feed into mysql.

If the feed is unavailable, then I want the script to try again, hence the refresh.

 

I wasn't expecting 2nd Favourite to be added at all, let alone over and over again.
