<td class='tbl'><input type='text' name='user_name' value='".$userdata['user_name']."' maxlength='30' class='textbox' style='width:200px;'></td>


change it with this code

well, personally that wouldnt prevent me, because you havent change the varialble collection, so i would just use web developer to change the html back and it would send the string and update it again, but most people mighten release that

A bit hostile isn't it ? :(

I assume that the code was provided with the assumption that normal users wouldn't do such a thing.
And if a user did anyway, wouldn't it be reason enough to delete the culprits profile?

If you make it read-only there multiple ways of changing it. There always javascript injection, and you can use firefoxs web developer etc...

You have to chnage the code, delete the $username variable..
