Are you asking how to best avoid having duplicate usernames in a registration system?

If so, one practice is to try and insert the new username, if the username column in Mysql has a UNIQUE index on it, then Mysql returns a recognised error number(1062), which you can catch and then use to prompt for a new username.

Try this for starters [google]mysql unique usernames[/google]
