I have a query

$query = "INSERT INTO `user`
    (`fname`,
    `lname`,
    `email`,
    `password`,
    `permission`,
    `idcustomer`)
         VALUES
    (
    '" . $firstname . "',
    '" . $lastname . "',
    '" . $email . "',

Now, I need to execte this query only is the result of the query below is > 0:

select (number_of_users - (select count(*) from user where idcustomer=2)) availableUsers 
   from customer where idcustomer=2

Answer 1

Just use a select instead of values(...):

$query = "INSERT INTO `user`
    (`fname`,
    `lname`,
    `email`,
    `password`,
    `permission`,
    `idcustomer`)
     select
    '" . $firstname . "',
    '" . $lastname . "',
    '" . $email . "',            
    '" . $password . "',
    'admin',
    " . $idcustomer . "
    from customer
    where idcustomer = 2
          and (number_of_users - (select count(*) from user where idcustomer=2)) > 0
    );";
