WordPress Custom Form Error

[gilgimech]

I’m writing a plugin that posts data to the WordPress database.

For the most part I have the basics working. I’m using this to check for duplicate entries.

$duplicate =  $wpdb->get_results("SELECT * FROM wp_flr_locations WHERE location_name = '{$location_name}'");

if (isset($_POST)) {

if ($duplicate != '') {

$wpdb->insert( 'wp_flr_locations', array( 'location_name' => $_POST ) );

} else {

echo'
No Duplaicates Allowed 
';

}

} 

This does prevent duplicate entries from being posted to the database. The problem I'm having is I want an error message to show if it is duplicate. The "else" doesn't seem to work.

Any Ideas?

Thanks I’ll give it a try.
I’m not a php expert either if you couldn’t tell.:)
