note 29221 added to function.similar-text

If you have reserved names in a database that you don't want others to use, i find this to work pretty good. I added strtoupper to the variables to validate typing only. Taking case into consideration will decrease similarity. $query = mysql_query("select * from $table") or die("Query failed"); while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($query)) { similar_text(strtoupper($_POST['name']), strtoupper($row['reserved']), $similarity_pst); if (number_format($similarity_pst, 0) > 90){ $too_similar = $row['reserved']; print "The name you entered is too similar the reserved name "".$row['reserved']."""; break; } } -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.similar-text.php http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+29221 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+29221 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+29221
