Check username availability from database in php using jQuery

Hell Friends
here is an example to Check username availability from database in php using jQuery. This will be done with three steps.
  1. First create a file "index.php" or whatever you want.
  2. Create a "user_availability.php".
  3. Create database named "test" and table named "login".

What is jquery?

JQuery is a fast and concise JavaScript Library that simplifies HTML document traversing, event handling, animating, and Ajax interactions for rapid web development. jQuery is designed to change the way that you write JavaScript.

index.php(This is the file from where you will input username)

        $("#msgbox").removeClass().addClass('messagebox').text('Checking...').fadeIn("slow");
        //check the username exists or not from ajax
        $.post("user_availability.php",{ user_name:$(this).val() } ,function(data)
        {
          if(data=='no') //if username not avaiable
          {
              $("#msgbox").fadeTo(200,0.1,function() //start fading the messagebox
            {
              //add message and change the class of the box and start fading
              $(this).html('This User name Already exists').addClass('messageboxerror').fadeTo(900,1);

  6. I've trawled Google looking for a working copy of this script yet without fail all I can find like this example are ones that do not work...

    (I really wish people would check their scripts before posting them to be honest)

    I did manage to find one example working on a site called betadistribution.com but since I can't see the user_availability.php script then I have no clue how they got around the database issue.

    This one like all the others is a lemon.

  10. Hi ankit..
    I want small help.
    Instead of text box can you help me with drop down list.
    My drop down list contains timing field for two hours interval(8-10,10-12,12-2,2-4,4-6,6-8). I tried but it is not displaying any thing.
    Thank you.

  15. In the php code
    $username = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['username']);

    Should be :
    $username = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['user_name']);
