In this tutorial, we will see a PHP script to implement username live check feature using AJAX, jQuery, and MySQL. Checking UserName and Email Address of the user on SignUp is good way to prevent duplicate content on database and several other problems.
PHP, jQuery and HTML Code
<?php
define('DB_SERVER', "localhost");
define('DB_USER', "root");
define('DB_PASS', "");
define('DB_DATABASE', "whatsappdwld_db");
$con = mysqli_connect(DB_SERVER, DB_USER, DB_PASS, DB_DATABASE);
if( isset( $_POST['submit_form'] ) )
{
$name = $_POST['username'];
$email = $_POST['useremail'];
$password = $_POST['userpass'];
$insertdata=" INSERT INTO user (name,email,password) VALUES( '".$name."','".$email."','".$password."' ) ";
mysqli_query($con,$insertdata);
}
?>
