and this is my current code

<?
session_start();

if (session_is_registered("username")){
}else{
echo "<font face=\"Arial\">You are not authorized to access this page ... Please <a href='../index.php'>Login</a></font>";
}

include '../db_connect.php';

$brandname = $_POST['brand_name'];
$b_letter = $_POST['b_letter'];
$brand_details = $_POST['brand_details'];
$brand_url = $_POST['brand_url'];
$brand_logo = $_POST['brand_logo'];
$date_created = date('Y-m-d');
$username = $_POST['username'];

//brand verification
$sql_brandname_check = mysql_query("SELECT brand_name FROM engsoon_brands WHERE brand_name='$brandname'");
  $brandname_check = mysql_num_rows($sql_brandname_check);
	if($brandname_check > 0){
		error ('Brand already exist!');

	} 	 


$brandname = stripslashes($brandname);
$b_letter = stripslashes($b_letter);
$brand_details = stripslashes($brand_details);
$brand_url = stripslashes($brand_url);
$$date_create = stripslashes($$date_create);
$brand_logo = stripslashes($brand_logo);

$sql = mysql_query("INSERT INTO engsoon_brands (brand_name, b_letter, brand_details, brand_url, date_created, brand_logo )
      VALUES('$brandname', '$b_letter', '$brand_details', '$brand_url', '$date_created', '$brand_logo')") or die (mysql_error());

     if(!$sql){
    echo '<script language=javascript> alert("Error adding brand");top.location = "../brandsmngr.php?id=1&username='.$username.'";</script>';
	exit();
     } else {
   $bid = mysql_insert_id();	   

   echo '<script language=javascript> alert("new brand has been added!");top.location = "../brandsmngr.php?id=2&username='.$username.'";</script>';
}

the irony of this is just killing me (=

 

are you sure that your included file has defined this function?  thats the first thing i would check

as far as i know theres no function error() in php, only i thats a custom function. Anyway u're getting a call to undefined function error, so i assume u have not made a custom one. So remove that and just use echo.

i just forgot to add the exit;
