Answer 1

hello Franco, 

I am not sure what makes it so difficult to insert duplicate entries. Make sure the 'name' column is not set to 'unique' or 'primary'.

If problem persists, would like to have a look on the code.

Answer 2

is there other way to make a little easier to understand?

thanks again
