I am trying to work with MySQL

Hello dear ma'am. Greetings of the day.

This one is not working with MySQL ?

$user = findUserByEmail($email); if (!empty($user)) { $session->getFlashBag()->add('error', 'User Already Exists'); redirect('/register.php'); }

Thank You :-) @alena

This has nothing to do with MySql and looks like just regular PHP code.

MySql with PHP requires a database connection, and by the looks of it you're using OOP PHP. So you will have to make a query that queries the database and let PHP handle the info that returns from that query to validate whether an user exists or not.
