[SOLVED] Register page using $_POST

DeathStar · March 23, 2007

Hi there.

I made a register page but for some reson im getting this error:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_ELSEIF in /home/deathsta/public_html/register.php on line 81

As normally you would think its a simple error like a missing ";" or "}", well its not(i think)

here is my code:

<?php
session_start();
mysql_connect('localhost','usr','pass') or die(mysql_error());
mysql_select_db('db');
function valid_email ($email)
{
  // First, we check that there's one @ symbol, and that the lengths are right
  if (!ereg("^[^@]{1,64}@[^@]{1,255}$", $email))
   {
    // Email invalid because wrong number of characters in one section, or wrong number of @ symbols.
    return false;
   }

  // Split it into sections to make life easier
  $email_array = explode("@", $email);
  $local_array = explode(".", $email_array[0]);

  for ($i = 0; $i < sizeof($local_array); $i++)
   {
    if (!ereg(
                 "^(([A-Za-z0-9!#$%&#038;'*+/=?^_`{|}~-][A-Za-z0-9!#$%&#038;'*+/=?^_`{|}~\.-]{0,63})|(\"[^(\\|\")]{0,62}\"))$",
                 $local_array[$i]))
     {
      return false;
     }
   }

  if (!ereg("^\[?[0-9\.]+\]?$", $email_array[1]))
   { // Check if domain is IP. If not, it should be valid domain name
    $domain_array = explode(".", $email_array[1]);

    if (sizeof($domain_array) < 2)
     {
      return false; // Not enough parts to domain
     }

    for ($i = 0; $i < sizeof($domain_array); $i++)
     {
      if (!ereg("^(([A-Za-z0-9][A-Za-z0-9-]{0,61}[A-Za-z0-9])|([A-Za-z0-9]+))$", $domain_array[$i]))
       {
        return false;

   }

it may be because your line--> elseif (strlen($_POST)) is also false??, ive had this happen to me, but cant quite remember how I got around it?, maybe try else insted of elseif`s???.

The elseif statement is only executed if the preceding if expression and any preceding elseif expressions evaluated to FALSE, and the current elseif expression evaluated to TRUE

See that will end the query, and not let it goto the query that Inserts the data even if the data provided is correct.

What's line 81?

DeathStar · March 23, 2007

elseif ($q2)

thats refering to:

$q2 = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM users WHERE email='{$_POST['email']}'");
elseif ($q2)
   {
    print "<font color=#ff0000>E-Mail already in use. Choose another.</font><br />
><a href='register.php'>Back</a>";

   }

Ok, im not pretty good in php, but based on the programmations basics, to call an elseif, you need a comparison but with your

$q2 = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM users WHERE email='{$_POST['email']}'")

your simply setting up an array

so $q2 is not a test at all, its a list of all the emails equal to $_POST['email']

If you could select the first(cuz your not supposed to have more than one) array of this list and test it with $_POST, it should work

again, sorry, if this is totally wrong, I usually do vbasic, not php

DeathStar · March 24, 2007

Please note: "Topic Solved".

The problems That I have corrected is:

$q2 = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM users WHERE email='{$_POST['email']}'");
if (mysql_fetch_row($q2))
   {
    print "<font color=#ff0000>E-Mail already in use. Choose another.</font><br />
><a href='register.php'>Back</a>";

   }
