Unable to locate input text element

I am not able to find input text element in selenium facebook webdriver.

I want it to run further even if it is not able to find the text input. I am using the following code but not working : 

if(count($driver->findElement(WebDriverBy::id('custname'))) > 0){
    $driver->findElement(WebDriverBy::id('custname'))->sendKeys("John Doe");

}

Actually the problem is if there is data in server it won't show an input text, it just shows a span tag. but if there is no data in server it shows input text. that's why i just want to check if input text exists then insert data in input else continue.

The error is : Fatal error: Uncaught Facebook\WebDriver\Exception\NoSuchElementException: no such element: Unable to locate element:

use Facebook\WebDriver\Exception\NoSuchElementException;

try {
    $search = $driver->findElement(WebDriverBy::id('custname'));
} catch (NoSuchElementException $e) {
    echo "Not found";
}

You can check if the element is visible:

$userName = $driver->findElement(WebDriverBy::id('custname'));

if ($userName->isVisible()) {
    $userName->sendKeys("John Doe");
}
