Glese Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 I am trying to use the new way of validating the entered email in a register form. /* REGISTER FORM */ // check if submit button has been clicked if (isset($_POST['submit_signup'])) { // process and assign variables after post submit button has been clicked $user_email = strip_tags(trim($_POST['email'])); $user_email = filter_var($user_email, FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL); $nickname = strip_tags(trim($_POST['nickname'])); $password = $_POST['password']; $repassword = $_POST['repassword']; $month = $_REQUEST['month']; $day = $_REQUEST['day']; $year = $_REQUEST['year']; $dob = $year . "-" . $month . "-" . $day; $find_us_question = strip_tags(trim($_POST['find_us_question'])); // connect to database $dbc = mysqli_connect(DB_HOST, DB_USER, DB_PASSWORD, DB_NAME); $check_query = "SELECT * FROM user WHERE nickname = '$nickname'"; $check_connect = mysqli_query($dbc, $check_query) or die(mysqli_error($dbc)); $check_count = mysqli_num_rows($check_connect); // Check if the email exists twice $query_get = "SELECT email FROM user WHERE email = '$user_email'"; $query_run = mysqli_query($dbc, $query_get); $num_rows = mysqli_num_rows($query_run); // check if username is already taken if ($check_count != 0) { echo "Username already exists!"; } elseif ($num_rows != 0) { echo "This email address is already registered in the database, you can not register it twice."; // check if fields are empty } elseif (empty($user_email) || empty($nickname) || empty($password) || empty($day) || empty($month) || empty($year)) { echo "Please fill out all the fields!"; // check char length of input data } elseif (strlen($nickname) > 30 || strlen($user_email) > 50) { echo "Maximum allowed character length for nickname/firstname/lastname are 30 characters!"; // check password char length } elseif (strlen($password) > 25 || strlen($password) < 6) { echo "Your password must be between 6 and 25 characters!"; // check if passwords match with each other } elseif ($password != $repassword) { echo "Please make sure your passwords are matching!"; } else { // encrypt password $password = sha1($password); I would like to implement now an error message stating something along the lines that the entered email address is not valid, how would I have to do the if statement to check the condition?
