Ive been given this code that registers users, ive got all the other parts working great with the login side but this is causing me problems. I dabble but not fluent in php.
This page is my register.php page. What i need is a register page that has the form on and when its filled out the "reg success" "reg failed" "username already taken" messages appear on the same page
Thanks in advance
<?php
session_start();
include("database.php");
include("login.php");
/**
* Returns true if the username has been taken
* by another user, false otherwise.
*/
function usernameTaken($username){
global $conn;
if(!get_magic_quotes_gpc()){
$username = addslashes($username);
}
$q = "select username from customer where username = '$username'";
$result = mysql_query($q,$conn);
return (mysql_numrows($result) > 0);
}
/**
* Inserts the given (username, password) pair
* into the database. Returns true on success,
* false otherwise.
*/
function addNewUser($username, $password){
global $conn;
$q = "INSERT INTO customer (Firstname, Surname, Company, Email, Type, Tel, Mob, username, password) VALUES ('$_POST[first]', '$_POST[surn]', '$_POST[comp]', '$_POST[email]', '$_POST[type]', '$_POST[tel]', '$_POST[mob]', '$username', '$password')";
return mysql_query($q,$conn);
