Check email already exist - Ajax - Jquery

In a registration form i needed to check whether the email already exist or not.

For this i have tried with jquery ajax, we can use this to check usernames, emails,url names… etc.
THE DEMO
How i did…

HTML
<tr>
<td width=”99″>Email</td>
<td width=”154″>
<input type=”text” name=”email” id=”email” size=”20″ class=”input_s1_normal”></td>
<td>
<div id=”emailInfo” align=”left”></div>
</td>
</tr>

Script
First declare a flag variable and other necessary variables
var emailok = false;
var email = $(“#email”);

Send Ajax request to check.php
email.blur(function(){
$.ajax({
type: “POST”,
data: “email=”+$(this).attr(“value”),
url: “check.php”,
beforeSend: function(){
emailInfo.html(“Checking Email…”); //show checking or loading image
},
success: function(data){
if(data == “invalid”)
{
emailok = false;
emailInfo.html(“Inavlid Email”);
}
else if(data != “0″)
{
emailok = false;
emailInfo.html(“Email Already Exist”);
}
else
{
emailok = true;
emailInfo.html(“Email OK”);
}
}
});
});

PHP
This is the check.php file
<?php
//data connection file
require “config.php”;
extract($_REQUEST);

if(eregi(“^[_a-z0-9-]+(\.[_a-z0-9-]+)*@[a-z0-9-]+(\.[a-z0-9-]+)*(\.[a-z]{2,3})$”, $email))
{
$sql = “select * from users where email=’$email’”;
$rsd = mysql_query($sql);
$msg = mysql_num_rows($rsd); //returns 0 if email not already exists
}
else
{
$msg = “invalid”;
}
echo $msg;
?>

Script
Process the response
email.blur(function(){
$.ajax({
type: “POST”,
data: “email=”+$(this).attr(“value”),
url: “check.php”,
beforeSend: function(){
emailInfo.html(“Checking Email…”);
},
success: function(data){
if(data == “invalid”)
{
emailok = false;
emailInfo.html(“Inavlid Email”);
}
else if(data != “0″)
{
emailok = false;
emailInfo.html(“Email Already Exist”);
}
else
{
emailok = true;
emailInfo.html(“Email OK”);
}
}
});
});

	var emailok = false;
	var boxes = $(".input_s1_normal");
	var myForm = $("#chkForm"), username = $("#username"), email = $("#email"), emailInfo = $("#emailInfo");

	//give some effect on focus
	boxes.focus(function(){
		$(this).addClass("input_s1_focus");
	});
	//reset on blur
	boxes.blur(function(){
		$(this).removeClass("input_s1_focus");
	});

	//Form Validation
	myForm.submit(function(){
		if(username.attr("value") == "")
		{
			alert("Enter Username");
			username.focus();
			return false;
		}
		if(email.attr("value") == "")
		{
			alert("Enter Email");
			email.focus();
			return false;
		}
		if(!emailok)

			return false;
		}
	});

	//send ajax request to check email
	email.blur(function(){
		$.ajax({
			type: "POST",
			data: "email="+$(this).attr("value"),
			url: "check.php",
			beforeSend: function(){
				emailInfo.html("Checking Email...");

			success: function(data){
				if(data == "invalid")
				{
					emailok = false;
					emailInfo.html("Inavlid Email");
