So I am grabbing the amount of rows in a specific table where the username is already in the database like so:
$second_sql = $db->prepare("SELECT * FROM users WHERE username = :username");
$second_sql->bindParam(':username', $username);
$second_sql->execute();
if($second_sql->rowCount() == 1) {
$db = null;
header("Location: ../login/");
} else {
$statement->execute();
$db = null;
}
The problem is it's not working. If you need more of the script just tell me.
Some databases does not report the row count with PDO->rowCount()
method.
SQLite, for instance.
So don't use rowCount()
; doing so makes your code less portable.
Instead use the COUNT(*)
function in your query, and store the result in a variable.
Finally, use that variable to fetch the one and only column (users) using the fetchColumn()
method.
So you can play with this:
try {
$second_sql = $db->prepare("SELECT COUNT(*) from users WHERE username = :username");
$second_sql->bindParam(':username', $username, PDO::PARAM_STR);
$second_sql->execute();
$count = $second_sql->fetchColumn();
} catch (PDOException $e) {
// Here you can log your error
// or send an email
// Never echo this exception on production
// Only on development fase
echo "Error: " . $e->getMessage();
}
if ($count) {
$db = null;
header("Location: ../login/");
} else {
$statement->execute();
$db = null;
}
Perhaps you wanna test you condition for a single row:
if ($count == 1)
Hope this helps you.
Cheers!
