Unique Database value

I have a registration page built with validations however when i try and validate the email address against currently registered email addresses it does not work. The process i followed after reading several posts was:

1. In the server bahaviours tab click add > webassist > validations > server validations
2.
Validation trigger: Button: Registration_submit pressed
Validation Type: Unique Database Value
Server Variable: $_SESSION['SecurityAssist_UserID']

I can still register using the same email address as already registered in database, not sure where i am going wrong here, is there any detailed documentation on checking if a value already exists before processing registration?


Server Validation: Unique Database Value
Unique column: Email
Key Column: UserID
Key Value:<?php echo isset($_SESSION['SecurityAssist_UserID'])?$_SESSION['SecurityAssist_UserID']:"0"; ?>

If there are already validations in place, you should not be adding a second server validation server behavior, you should editing the existing one to add the new unique database value validation.

open the server behaviors list, and double click the server validation behavior to edit it.

Hi Jason,

yes tried that, it still allows duplicate emails to be registered.

in the unique database value validation, you are using the SecurityAssist_UserID session variable for the Server Variable to validate, you should be using the email address form element.

When do you get the invalid information error, when submitting the registration form?

you say the registration form is submiting to the pricing page? That would mean validation is passing?

please provide more details.
