Extending Registration

[Ell20]

Hey,

 

At the moment I have a registration page where users can register to join the site.

However as their names can already be used within the system I need to do a check to see whether their name already exsists.

I thought the best way would be to use the LIKE mysql function to check the database when the user attempts to register, if last_name and first_name are not close to matching any in the database then register as normal otherwise display a drop down box with the possible matches then UPDATE the database with the additional information added by the user when registering.

 

However I cant seem to get it to work.

 

I code is quiet long so if someone is willing to help I will email the code.

 

Thanks alot
