I'm not enitrely sure of the inner workings, but a quick-fix would be to have javascript handle the submit for you... When the submit button is pressed, trigger a javascript function that re-enables the field then submits the form.

I'm no mysql guru, but try escapting all mysql field names. Sometimes you can be using a reserved name without knowing it $query = mysql_query(" UPDATE `user` SET `password1` = MD5('" . mysql_escape_string($password1) . "'), `password2` = MD5('" . mysql_escape_string($password2) . "') WHERE `emailaddress1` = '" . $_SESSION['sessioname'] . "' ");

do { $randomname = sha1(uniqid(rand(), true)) . $extension; } while (file_exists($randomname));

Sessions is the easiest way. You can also dynamically generate hidden form fields to achieve this as well

Nix or Win server? Is this a pre-built php script, or something you've coded yourself?

That's got me stumped. According to the php manual, the function returns as such

That would be javascript, not php. http://www.javascriptkit.com/script/script2/autofresh.shtml

$cur['day'] = date('j'); $cur['month'] = date('n'); $cur['year'] = date('y'); That will fill it with the server's day/month/year at the moment of execution

The ! before the function can pretty much be equated to == FALSE; so if (!function()) is the same as if (function() == FALSE) Be careful though... ! checks for both FALSE and 0.. so if your function returns a numeric value, and there's a chance it might be 0, be sure to use if (function() === FALSE)

double post... delete sorry

Lost a bit of data with the downfall... as I said before PHP doesn't have permission to create/write the file in the directory your are specifying. Try using an absolute path, and make sure the folder exists.
