prevent form editing

how can you prevent forms from being edited? im sure this has been answered and I am hoping for an easy fix, but people on my game can edit the forums for however much money they want using programs

Are you refering to the paypal buttons? If so they offer encrypted buttons when your creating them use that. Right now they can copy your html as it is
<input type="hidden" name="item_name" value="$5.00 Networth Value">
<input type="hidden" name="amount" value="5.00">
/btn_buynow_SM.gif" border="0" name="submit" alt="Make payments with PayPal - it's fast, free and secure!">
<img alt="" border="0" src="https://www.paypal.com/en_US/i/scr/pixel.gif" width="1" height="1">
</form>
And change the value to 0.00 put it on their site and submit it. I believe.

no im talking like taking an item, and being able to set its stats using a firefox addon... they arent supposed to be able to!

You do all the checking server-side.

[Demonicman]

how do i do that though?

By performing the checks you're currently doing client-side... on the server?
