Question : check if email aleady exists in db table before new record is inserted

I need to check if an email address already exists before a new record is inserted - can i modify the following code to do that?

         
           
           
          $editFormAction = $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];
if (isset($_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'])) {
  $editFormAction .= "?" . htmlentities($_SERVER['QUERY_STRING']);
}

if ((isset($_POST["MM_insert"])) && ($_POST["MM_insert"] == "signup")) {
  $insertSQL = sprintf("INSERT INTO members (membername, email, password) VALUES (%s, %s, %s)",
                       GetSQLValueString($_POST['member_name'], "text"),
                       GetSQLValueString($_POST['email'], "text"),
                       GetSQLValueString($_POST['password'], "text"));

  mysql_select_db($database_stella, $stella);
  $Result1 = mysql_query($insertSQL, $stella) or die(mysql_error());
}

           
         

Answer : check if email aleady exists in db table before new record is inserted

well, if you're still at it... one of these generic keycodes will work. they're provided by microsoft for situations like this. they wont activate, but they'll get you installed so you can change the key later
