Trouble inserting code into 'if/else' statement

[pioneerx01]

I have this simple form that registers schools. This year I have decide to upgrade and include a feature that checks if the school is already registered or not based on the imputed name. Here is the code (that is the only way I know how):

 

mysql_connect("", "", "") or die(mysql_error( '' ));
mysql_select_db("") or die(mysql_error( '' ));

$query  = "SELECT * FROM School_Registrations WHERE School_Name= '$_POST[schoolName]' ";
$result = mysql_query($query);
if (mysql_numrows($result) > 0) {
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))

echo" error code here";} 

else {mysql_query("INSERT INTO `database`.`School_Registrations` (all the variables here);") 
or die(mysql_error( '' ));  

echo "Success Code";}

 

I am trying to incorporate this code somewhere into the 'else' statement but I have no luck. I am constantly getting some errors and when I fix one there is one more to take its place. I am lost. The last one I can not fix and I am not sure what it wants from me:

 

Fatal error: Call to undefined function getPage()

 

It works by itself without the if/else statement but not in the code listed above

 

$url = 'http://www.otherpage.com/page.php?';
$url .= 'email='.urlencode($_POST['email']);

$result2 = getPage('', $url, '', 15);

function getPage($proxy, $url, $header, $timeout) {
    $ch = curl_init();
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, $header);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_PROXY, $proxy);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPPROXYTUNNEL, 1);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT, $timeout);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_REFERER, 'http://azsef.org');
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, 'Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.0. Gecko/2009032609 Firefox/3.0.8');
    $result2['EXE'] = curl_exec($ch);
    $result2['INF'] = curl_getinfo($ch);
    $result2['ERR'] = curl_error($ch);
    curl_close($ch);
    return $result2;
}

 

Can you tell me why doesn't it work?

Thanks

It seems that your function is not loading into else statement of your code. the quick solution would be defining function at the top of the page. or creating a file for function and including it dynamically on all pages where you want to use this function.
