I want to check for a valid email address and then see if the email address is in the database. At the moment the validation for a valid email address works fine. But if I enter in an email address which is in the database such as "nickfrosty@yahoo.com", instead of echoing the message You have entered in the Correct Email Address
, it echos the complete opposite message and echos You entered in the Wrong Email Address
. So this is making me think that it cannot find the email address in the database even though I am sure the email address is in the database.
So my question is that why can't it find the email address in the database and hence echos the message that I have entered in the wrong email address?
Below is the code (mysqli/php):
if ( (strlen($email) >= 7) && (strstr($email, "@")) && (strstr($email, ".")) ){
echo "You have entered in the Correct Email Address";
}
else{
echo "You entered in the Wrong Email Address";
}
