hi eric

usernames should *always* be unique. otherways authentication based upon
usernames is just a joke...

when user choose their username you first have to search for the same
username in the database and make sure that the username ist unique befor
you perform an insert.
howevr, keep in mind that mysql in some way is not case sensitive...

select * from user where name='bla';

will also match when a user with the name 'Bla' exists...

have fun
