PHP Echo Appearing Twice












-1














I am trying to show an echo when a user improperly enters their license key, though, for some reason, the message appears twice.



    $invalidkey = '<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html>
<body>
<center>
<div class="container2"
<h1>Your Product Key is Invalid!</h1>
</div>
</center>
</body>
</html>
';

if ($resulto->num_rows > 0)
{
while($row = $resulto->fetch_assoc())
{
$user_group = $row["LicenseKey"];
$days = $row["Count"];
// Key is valid
if ($user_group == $key)
{
$keyvalidated = true;
echo $user_group;
echo $key;

}
// Key is invalid
else if ($usergroup !== $key)
{
echo $invalidkey;
$keyvalidated = false;
}
}
}


Here is an image of the error actually appearing:

My guess is that for whatever reason there are actually two records in the result set. The best fix would be to find a way to run the right query, which just returns a single record for a single user. As a quick fix, perhaps just check the first record:



if ($resulto->num_rows > 0) {
$row = $resulto->fetch_assoc();
$user_group = $row["LicenseKey"];
$days = $row["Count"];
// Key is valid
if ($user_group == $key) {
$keyvalidated = true;
echo $user_group;
echo $key;
}
// Key is invalid
else if ($usergroup !== $key) {
echo $invalidkey;
$keyvalidated = false;
}
}


Again, you need to find out why the result set has two, or more than one, records.

Please try adding a break since there could be more than one iteration (or you wouldn't need a loop):



// Key is invalid
else if ($usergroup !== $key)
{
echo $invalidkey;
$keyvalidated = false;
break;
}

The reason why it's showing 2 times is because query is fetching 2 results. So you need to limit query to just 1, just read the first record, or break the loop after 1st iteration.



while($row = $resulto->fetch_assoc()) 
{
$user_group = $row["LicenseKey"];
$days = $row["Count"];
// Key is valid
if ($user_group == $key)
{
$keyvalidated = true;
echo $user_group;
echo $key;

}
// Key is invalid
else if ($usergroup !== $key)
{
echo $invalidkey;
$keyvalidated = false;
}

break;
}
