(verify_id($idname, &$id, $alert = true, $selall = false, $options = 0
This function is used to ensure the existence of the content in the database and back up it. If the content does not exist, the function will return “false”.
Parameter:
- idname$ (mandatory) : The name of the table that you search for in the database.
- id$ (mandatory) : The table value that you search for.
- alert$ (optional) : The value of boolean true/false, in case this parameter is set as “true”, the function will print out an error if the user does not exist
- selall$ (optional) : The value of boolean true/false, to determine if all columns are fetched or not.
- options$ (optional) : It is set if the parameter $idname value is user to search in the user table, as it recalls the fetch_userinfo function in such a case. You can as well get back to it to figure out its parameter to identify the parameter benefits.
