Try That?

Forgot the $POST variable for the username.

Basically when he tries to add a permission (admin or something like that) it will only add to the account Ash and no other accounts even when there name is selected

errr... i would help but i can only do dat to my Dj Panels like my panel called pp to release sooN!
