HuggieBear Posted October 1, 2006 Share Posted October 1, 2006 You're going to need to allow the form to submit anyway. Once it checks the database to see if the user exists, it either registers them or it spits out an error, returning them to the page, the fields can be pre-filled with the values they already entered.RegardsHuggie Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/22579-usernames/#findComment-101771 Share on other sites More sharing options...
