ajax+php if/else form submit problem

hello all,

i'm a ajax noob so please bear with me.

 

i have a form with a single field to submit an e-mail address. if the e-mail already exists in the database, it will respond "user registered". else, the email will be inserted into the database and respond "you have been registered".

 

the problem now is, the email does get stored in the database but it prompts "user registered" instead of "you have been registered".

 

help!  ???

i think there's a logic problem...

 

my php file

$email=$_GET["email"];

//check if e-mail is already registered
if ($row[0] == 0)
{
	//register user
	$query2 = "INSERT INTO users (username, userPwd, userAccess) VALUES ('$email', '$userPwd', '$userAccess')";
	echo $query2;
	$result2 = mysql_query($query2);*/

	echo "An e-mail with your username and password has been sent to the address you have entered.";
}
else
{
	//e-mail already registered
	echo "This e-mail has already been registered. Forgot password?";
}

 

my javascript file

var xmlHttp

function showHint(email)
{
if (email.length==0)
  { 
  document.getElementById("userHint").innerHTML="";
  return;
  }
xmlHttp=GetXmlHttpObject()
if (xmlHttp==null)
  {
  alert ("Your browser does not support AJAX!");
  return;
  } 
var url="getHint.php";
url=url+"?email="+email;
url=url+"&sid="+Math.random();
xmlHttp.onreadystatechange=stateChanged;
xmlHttp.open("GET",url,true);
xmlHttp.send(null);
} 

function stateChanged() 
{ 
if (xmlHttp.readyState==4)
{ 
document.getElementById("userHint").innerHTML=xmlHttp.responseText;
}
}

function GetXmlHttpObject()
{
var xmlHttp=null;
try
  {
  // Firefox, Opera 8.0+, Safari
  xmlHttp=new XMLHttpRequest();
  }
catch (e)
  {
  // Internet Explorer
  try
    {
    xmlHttp=new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.XMLHTTP");
    }
  catch (e)
    {
    xmlHttp=new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
    }
  }
return xmlHttp;
}

 

and my HTML form

<html>

<head>

<script src="userHint.js"></script> 

</head>



<body>



<form> 

Email: <input type="text" id="email" onkeyup="showHint(this.value)">

</form>

<p><div id="userHint"></div></p>



</body>

</html>
