I have a problem with a login

[khazad]

I'm following this video 

And on 59:00 he makes a code to know if a username is already taken, i do the same as he explains in the video but i get an error on the line 30 which is this

 $result = msqli_query($conn, $sql); 

 

Every variable is the same on the database and on the files.

If it's using procedural syntax it's not even worth watching in my opinion.

Take the knowledge from that video and replace all the queries with OOP mysqli prepared statements or PDO Prepared statements,

makes everything a lot easier and less cluttered.

 

But to answer your question, your SQL probably has a syntax error.

Does your page display an error & what is it? If not have you tried var dumping?

 

Did you fat finger something and your eyes just keep skipping over it?

Procedural syntax isn't bad. Its great to start learning and building basic knowledge of your first language.

 

Can I ask when your deadline.

 

Anyways we need some more code to see what is happening.

 

And what does the error say
