mysql - what is the code in php to check if user already Exist or not? -


i'm new in php , mysql. i'm trying check if user taken or not. if it's taken won't added database. however, tried lot of code trick none of code used worked. i'm not sure i'm doing wrong. have right now:

<?php  include 'db_settings.php';  db_connect();  //escape variables security $user = mysqli_real_escape_string($con, $_post['user']); $pass = mysqli_real_escape_string($con, $_post['pass']); $email = mysqli_real_escape_string($con, $_post['email']); $sql="insert users (user, pass, email)         values ('$user','$pass', '$email')";   if (!mysqli_query($con,$sql)) {     die('error: ' . mysqli_error($con)); }  echo "1 record added</br>";  mysqli_close($con);  echo "<a href='sign-up.html'>sing-up again!</a></br>"; echo "<a href='index.html'> go home </a>";  ?>`
