Mkay whats wrong with this?

[Avimander]

$namechecka = mysql_query("SELECT username FROM users WHERE username = '".$_POST['uname']."'");

$namecheckb = mysql_num_rows($namechecka);

It doesn't do anything.

I have to assume that you mean no value is assigned to $namecheckb ....

Error checking is a Good Thing® ...

$namechecka = mysql_query("SELECT username FROM users WHERE username = '".$_POST['uname']."'");

if ($namechecka) {
   $namecheckb = mysql_num_rows($namechecka);
   } else {
   echo "NamecheckA var is null!!";
   }

what does that tell you?

[Avimander]

Er...heh...heh....$namechecka is null...so...

Now my question is, why isn't my MySQL query working?

[Avimander]

Never mind. Stupid question of mine #2.
Wow, I'm either really stupid, or really tired.

Guess why it didn't work?

I DIDN'T START A MYSQL CONNECTION.

Sheesh. Stupid me.

Well, the only non-human in this encounter was a computer ... and he has no hands to raise ...

/hands shoot up all over the forum --- except that liar over there ...

Don't worry too much about it 😃
