How do I put extra number at the end of username if duplicate

Question

Hard to explain, and let me show an example.

1. If username foo already exists in MySQL I want php script will allow it but to be foo1

Answer 1

  $getname   = $_POST['getname'];

  $i++;

  $q =  "SELECT username FROM User WHERE username LIKE '".$getname."%'";

  $r = mysql_query($q);

  if(mysql_num_rows($r) > 0){

    while($row = mysql_fetch_object($r)){
      if($row->username == $getname){
        $uname = $getname.$i;
      }else if($row->username == ($getname.$i)){
        $uname = $getname.$i+1;
      }
      $i++;
    }

  }
  else
  {
   $uname = "foo";
  }
