@ssystemsFeb 10.2012 — Multiple ways to do this. Simplest would be just to spit out the error when postback occurred

[code=php]
<?php
$error = null;
if(isset($_POST['my_post_check'])){
$username = clean_string($_POST['username']);
$query = sprintf("SELECT 1 FROM users WHERE username = '&#37;s'", $username);
//... etc
// If exists
$error = 'Error message';
}
?>

<input name="username" type="text" /><?php !empty($error) ? $error : '' ?>
[/code]
