well i pmed adam asking how to make it so like IPB my username wasn't case sensitive when logging in... he helped a little but all my usernames would have to b in lowercase i think (tho i could b wrrong)

CODE

<?php

$username = strtolower($_POST['username']);

?>

strtolower, changing the string to all lowercase

i have no knowledge of php really - and have had somebody else doing it all for me so far but they aren't currently available

thnx btw adam... and anyone else who can help, it is greatly appreciated - thnx in advance


EDIT: sorry - didnt notice the php thread... if someone could move this, thanks

the login system he's put on me site aint using mysql

[Matthew.]

It wouldn't have to be using mysql Davey, any type of database be it postgresql, mysql or even flatfile it wouldn't matter since the logic part of it is the same.

usename in database: Test
username submitted by form: tEsT

username from database after strtolower: test
username submitted by form after strtolower: test

So you can do a straight forward comparison.

There is also http://uk.php.net/strcasecmp i guess.
