validate check?

[up2trouble]

Currently, it checks to see if id is in db. If it is, it takes the
user to the survey. If not it takes the user to a page to try re-
entering code. I want to add another option. I want it to check and
see if the classid field in the db is empty if it is not empty, I want
it to go to a page saying survey has already been taken. How do I do
this? I tried a compunf if statement but it didn't work.

<?PHP
$FAIL = "surveyfailed.p hp";
$FAIL2 = "surveyfailed2. php";
$TRY = "surveyq.ph p";

if(isset($_POST['entersurvey']))
{
$id = $_POST['id'];
$class = $_POST['course'];

$sql = "SELECT * FROM $db_table10 WHERE id = '$id'";
$result = mysql_query ($sql, $connect) or die('Query 4 failed: ' .
mysql_error());
$num = mysql_num_rows( $result);

if ($num == 0)
{
echo "<meta http-equiv='Refresh' content='1;url= $FAIL'>";
}
else
{
$passid = $id;
$passcid = $class;
$_SESSION['passid'] = $passid;
$_SESSION['passcid'] = $passcid;
echo "<meta http-equiv='Refresh' content='1;url= $TRY'>";
}
}
?>

$id = isset($_POST['id']) ? mysql_real_esca pe_string($_POS T['id']) : '';

$class = $_POST['course'];

$sql = "SELECT classid FROM $db_table10 WHERE id = '$id'"

$result = mysql_query ($sql, $connect) or die('Query 4 failed: ' .
mysql_error());

Don't die() with an internal error (mysql_error()) in production, provide
a nice 'something went wrong and we're sorry'-page.

$num = mysql_num_rows( $result);
if ($num == 0)
{
echo "<meta http-equiv='Refresh' content='1;url= $FAIL'>";

header() redirects are more reliable & better overall.
header('Locatio n: http://'.$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'].'/'.$FAIL);

}
else

$row = mysql_fetch_ass oc($result);
if(empty($row['classid'])){
header('Locatio n: http://'.$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'].'/'.$FAIL2);
exit;
} else {
$_SESSION['passid'] = $id;
$_SESSION['passcid'] = $class;
session_write_c lose();
header('Locatio n: http://'.$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'].'/'.$TRY);
exit;
}
}

{
$passid = $id;
$passcid = $class;
$_SESSION['passid'] = $passid;
$_SESSION['passcid'] = $passcid;
echo "<meta http-equiv='Refresh' content='1;url= $TRY'>";
}
}
?>
