[PHP] If Statement Not Working

[iRawrHotel]

Hello,
I'm coding a registration for my site, and trying to do an if statement, so that if in the database, register == 1, it shows the form, else it shows Registration Is Currently Disabled;
I currently have this;
$register = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM register")

if ({$register} == 1)
{
echo "Form Here"
}
else {
echo "Registration Is Currently Disabled"
}

But i get

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_IF in /home/u872116037/public_html/register.html on line 55 Which is highlighted in the code above.

Any help would be appreciated!

Isn't it meant to be:

if($register == "1")

+ is the value a text in the database, because if you converted it to text it'd still work.

Register is currently an object this why you can't use an if statement.
Also you're best off just using a config variable to determine whether one can register.
E.g

// Array for Config variables
$Config['CanRegister'] = false; // False
 
if($Config['CanRegister'] == true)
{
    echo 'Forms and registration';
}
else
{
    echo 'Sorry registration is currently unavailable please check back later!';
}

Thanks! I used your suggestion of a config variable and it works
