Hey, so I have created a function to check the DB for unique entries, but when I call the function it doesn't seem to work and gives me a fatal error any ideas ? Thanks :)
//Check for unique entries
function checkUnique($table, $field, $compared)
{
$query = $mysqli->query('SELECT '.$mysqli->real_escape_string($field).' FROM '.$mysqli->real_escape_string($table).' WHERE "'.$mysqli->real_escape_string($field).'" = "'.$mysqli->real_escape_string($compared).'"');
if(!$query){
return TRUE;
}
else {
return FALSE;
}
}
The page calling it.....
//Start session
session_start();
//Check if the session is already set, if so re-direct to the game
if(isset($_SESSION['id'], $_SESSION['logged_in'])){
Header('Location: ../main/index.php');
};
//Require database connection
require_once('../global/includes/db.php');
require_once('../global/functions/functions.php');
//Check if the form has been submitted
if (isset($_POST['signup'])){
//Validate input
if (!empty($_POST['username']) && !empty($_POST['password']) && $_POST['password']==$_POST['password_confirm'] && !empty($_POST['email']) && validateEmail($_POST['email']) == TRUE && checkUnique('users', 'email', $_POST['email']) == TRUE && checkUnique('users', 'username', $_POST['username']) == TRUE)
{
//Insert user to the database
$insert_user = $mysqli->query('INSERT INTO (`username, `password`, `email`, `verification_key`) VALUES ("'.$mysqli->real_escape_string($_POST['username']).'", "'.$mysqli-real_escape_string(md5($_POST['password'])).'", "'.$mysqli->real_escape_string($_POST['email']).'", "'.randomString('alnum', 32). '"') or die($mysqli->error());
//Get user information
$getUser = $mysqli->query('SELECT id, username, email, verification_key FROM users WHERE username = "'.$mysqli->real_escape_string($_POST['username']).'"' or die($mysqli->error()));
//Check if the $getUser returns true
if ($getUser->num_rows == 1)
{
//Fetch associated fields to this user
$row = $getUser->fetch_assoc();
//Set mail() variables
$headers = 'From:
[email protected]'."\r\n".
'Reply-To:
[email protected]'."\r\n".
'X-Mailer: PHP/'.phpversion();
$subject = 'Activate your account (Music Battles.net)';
//Set verification email message
$message = 'Dear '.$row['username'].', I would like to welcome you to Music Battles. Although in order to enjoy the gmae you must first activate your account. \n\n Click the following link: http://www.musicbattles.net/home/confirm.php?id='.$row['id'].'key='.$row['verification_key'].'\n Thanks for signing up, enjoy the game! \n Music Battles Team';
//Attempts to send the email
if (mail($row['email'], $subject, $message, $headers))
{
$msg = '<p class="success">Accound has been created, please
go activate it from your email.</p>';
}
else {
$error = '<p class="error">The account was created but your email was not sent.</p>';
}
}
else {
$error = '<p class="error">Your account was not created.</p>';
}
}
else {
$error = '<p class="error">One or more fields contain non or invalid data.</p>';
}
}
Erorr....
