Good day to you all,
My code is looking for user name in a file, if match found, do nothing, if no match found, add to list.

Right now, it add anyway !

PHP Code:

$activeadmlist = "user_list.txt";
$pos = strpos($activeadmlist, $_SESSION['username']);

if ($pos === false) {

$output= $_SESSION['username']."\n";
$newfile="user_list.txt";
$file = fopen ($newfile, "a");
fwrite($file, $output);
fclose ($file); 


} else {
    

} 

Thanks!

it is a different problem.

not really, the problem is your still checking the file name for the username, not the actual file data.

I posted a solution in your original post

You need to get the contents of the file:

PHP Code:

// change this:
$pos = strpos($activeadmlist, $_SESSION['username']);

// to this:
$pos = strpos(file_get_contents($activeadmlist), $_SESSION['username']); 

Otherwise, you are looking for the value of $_SESSION['username'] in the string user_list.txt.
