[PHP] Custom SB command not working?

[xMrSiiNz]

I can't get this to work, if someone could help me it'd be much appreciated. I'd rather not show the whole code.

                  elseif (preg_match("#^(/rename\s+?)#i", $message, $matches) && $db->isAdmin()) {
			$rename = $db->sanitize(trim(str_replace($matches[0], "", $message)));
			$selectuser = $con->query("SELECT * FROM users WHERE username='$rename'");
			$checkuser = $con->query("SELECT * FROM users WHERE username='$matches[0]'");
			if(!$selectuser or !$checkuser)
			{
				echo $con->mysql_error();
			}
			else
			{
				if($selectuser && !$checkuser)
				{
					$con->query("UPDATE users SET Username='$matches[0]' WHERE Username='$rename'");
					$message = ' has changed the user '.$user.'\'s username to '.$matches[0].'.';
				}
				else
				{
					$message = 'The username you have entered is invalid or already taken.';
				}
			}
                 }

What is it doing, or, not doing?

maybe the "or" on line 5 should be "||"

It's not doing anything, not even throwing a error. You can use "or".

You're not giving me much to go off of...

elseif (preg_match("#^(/rename\s+?)#i", $message, $matches) && $db->isAdmin()) {
echo "Path1 taken <br />";
$rename = $db->sanitize(trim(str_replace($matches[0], "", $message)));
$selectuser = $con->query("SELECT * FROM users WHERE username='$rename'");
$checkuser = $con->query("SELECT * FROM users WHERE username='$matches[0]'");
if(!$selectuser or !$checkuser)
{
echo "Path2 taken <br />";
echo $con->mysql_error();
}
else
{
if($selectuser && !$checkuser)
{
echo "Path3 taken <br />";
$con->query("UPDATE users SET Username='$matches[0]' WHERE Username='$rename'");
$message = ' has changed the user '.$user.'\'s username to '.$matches[0].'.';
}
else
{
echo "Path4 taken <br />";
$message = 'The username you have entered is invalid or already taken.';
}
}
}

Which output(s) do you get?

edit: Please describe your problem more than "it won't work/nothing happens" ..else I can't help.
tip: sprinkle more echo's into your code so you know which pieces of code are actually being executed/the path of execution.

I Can help you if you can post the whole script.
But with a small snipped like this it's sort of hard to figure out whats the problem.

Your elseif is in an odd spot
