hi,
I'm having a lot of problems wiht automatic submission software.

could anyone give me apiece of code that i can add to my submission form that prevent the form from submitting if fname = lname.

Basically i get a lot entries in my database with the exact same entries for first name and last name and some made up email.

thanks

You can do what you want with the following code:

Code: [Select]

if($fname==$lname) exit;

If all signups, as you mentioned, have the same fname and lname you could run a custom query with a tool like PhpMyAdmin, commonly accessible from your hosting control panel:

SQL:

Code: [Select]

DELETE FROM lm_users WHERE fname != '' AND fname = lname;
