TalkPHP - View Single Post - If duplicate title, add rand else, do nothing??

Hi all!

Basic stuff, maybe but I jsut can't figure it out? Can someone help me here?

If duplicate title, add rand numbers, if not duplicate title then do nothing. That's easy but when I need to check if that modifyed title isn't also duplicate I hit the wall..

Here's code (codeigniter):

Code:

$title = $this->input->post('title');
if(this->db->where('title', $title)->get('posts'))
{
  $rand = rand(1000, 9000);
  $title = $title . '-' . $rand;
}

Thanks for all help!
