When a user is banned it echo's the wrong notice out

Question

When the user is banned it should echo out the banned echo but instead it echo\'s out the Failed login echo, Somewhere along the line I\'ve messed something up if someone could

Answer 1

place this line outside if block

$SQL = $odb->prepare("SELECT `status` FROM `users` WHERE `username` = :username");
        $SQL->execute(array(':username' => $username));
        $status = $SQL->fetchColumn(0);

and in else part whaich says login failed do this

else // else for login failed
{

if($status == 1)
        {
        $SQL = $odb->prepare("SELECT `reason` FROM `bans` WHERE `username` = :username");
        $SQL->execute(array(':username' => $username));
        $ban = $SQL->fetchColumn(0);
echo '
×You are banned for Reason...';        
        die('You are banned. Reason: ' . htmlspecialchars($ban)); 
        }  

                  echo '
×Login Failed!!';
                }

you also tried to print that banned for valid users too
