I have checks in here and if something happens, it will echo a phrase

  • 0

I have “checks” in here and if something happens, it will echo a phrase like The username you supplied is already in use or whatever. When it DOES display it though, it’ll only display it on a blank page with that text. What is wrong here?

PHP 

<?php
    include('./dbconnect/global.php');

    if ($_POST['register']) {
        $username = mysql_real_escape_string(strip_tags($_POST['username']));
        $password = mysql_real_escape_string(strip_tags($_POST['password']));
        $email = mysql_real_escape_string(strip_tags($_POST['email']));

        if (!$username||!$password||!$email)
            echo "PLease Fill in The Required Fields";
        else {
            //check if username is taken
            $check = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM users WHERE username='$username'");
            if (mysql_num_rows($check) >= 1)
                echo "The Username you Supplied Is Already in Use! <a href='./register'>Back</a>";
            $check2 = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM users WHERE email='$email'");
            if (mysql_num_rows($check) >= 1)
                echo "The Email you Supplied Is Already in Use! <a href='./register'>Back</a>";
            else {
                $password2 = md5($password);
                $register = mysql_query("value and stuff)") or die(mysql_error());
                echo "Thanks for registering, $username! <a href='./index'>Home</a>";
            }
        }
    }

    else {
?>

    Your webpage has no content except that echo, so it is echo-ing it on a blank page because you told it to.
