How would I go about making PHP check if a username is already registered? Thanks.

Using a Database for storage of data? or flat-file? Using a Forum or CMS software?
We could use a few more specifics, please. One Mysql approach is to have an input field accept the name you want to check for then do a mysql query on that name. Check the number of results. If the query results returns a row count of zero, then it is available. |

If they are stored in a database, you'll need to query your tables for the said username and if there is a result, then we can say that the username exists! |
