Hi,
I have 5 textfields for user input in a form namely:
username1, username2, username3, username4 and username5
I would like to know how should I write my php code such that I will be able to check if there is any duplicates between the 5 textfields during POST?
I can only think of comparing (username1 !== username2) and so on, but I think there should be simpler way to do it right? How should I be able to do it?
Thank you very much.

What is the best way to build a mySQL & PHP search?
I am currently using things like
%term%
I want it to be able to find the result even if they spell it slightly wrong, for example:
Field value = "One: Stop Shop:
They search:
One Shop Stop
OR
One Stop Shop
Etc.. I want a really smart search so they find the information even if they don't search the exact thing.
What is the best way to build a smart search like this?
I am using combination of php+jQuery for captcha validation and later sending mails and do other stuff. The pseudo code is something like this:
captcha_code = jQuery.post(.....execute captcha script and get status)
if(captcha_code == "correct"){
send_mail_using_php_script;
}
Now I have no idea whether spammers can directly execute the "send_mail_using_php_script". Do they? If yes, then shall I move captcha validation in send_mail_using_php_script to make it more safer? Is there any other safer method?

I want to pass/bind an array of (key1, key2) to an Oracle PL/SQL stored procedure using PHP. I'm able to bind primitive types and arrays of primitive types, but haven't found a way to pass complex datatypes back and forth.
Is this unsupported? So far I've been having to pass along multiple arrays -- one for each subtype in my complex type -- and then depend on their indexes to reconstitute them in the procedure.

I've read many tutorials on how to debug php web page like this one,
all are very good except that I don't see any of them take into account .htaccess.
