You should confine those sorts of comparisons to numbers if($num == 1000)
For strings, use strcmp()
if (strcmp($s1, $s2) ==0){echo "these strings are identical"; }
be aware that it is case sensitive.

Not sure if I fully understand your problem Rui but I would think your ISP

form of a giant SQL statement - a collection of INSERT statements, one for
each record you want to insert. Perhaps this might need to be preceeded
There`s no such thing as a stupid question - unless of course we are trying
to dramatically reduce the number of posts on this list.
Jim, just echo the password before and after it gets inserted and

Maybe the array_walk() function is for you - but in general terms it is

another gotcha with auto increment fields - you can`t combine contents of

and then INSERT new value. store
