Hi, I think that you could still use Chris' method, you will just have to do it in a loop. Create an array of all the form fields, and then have a nested for loop which just checks that none of the elements are equal. $numelements = count($fieldarray); for($i = 0; $i < $numelements; $i++) {
    for($j = 0; $j < $numelements; $j++) {
        if($j != $i) {
            if($fieldarray[$i] == $fieldarray[$j]) {
                sendbackwitherrors();
            }
        }
    }
} Hope that helps. Jeff At 11:42 AM 2/7/2002 -0500, Dave Rosenberg wrote:
Thanks Chris, but I have about 10 different fields and want to make sure none of those are the same. Dave Chris Wright wrote:
With javascript onSubmit, but that ain't php, so with if($form1==$form2){sendthembackwitherrors()} ---
