I was wondering how you have a script check to see if something is already used in a mysql table. For example, a username or a name for anything specific. If so where would you put it on the script before or after the <form></form> tags? Anyways I hope someone can help.
You would do a (serverside) check on the database after submission, and then require a re-entry if the record already exists.
ummmm k and how would that happen?
Well, simple pseudocode would be:
if form data submitted select from table with form data if no results returned insert form data into table else display form with message on duplicate else display form
