You can, I was just wondering whether this wasn't a cut-and-paste

Let's say you have 3 articles, assuming name==title everywhere:
art1, art2, art3
Let's say you want to create an article with name 'art2'.
The code above would fetch art1, compare titles, which will differ, and create
the new article. You now have two articles with name=art2.
In order to make sure no duplicates for an article with name $newname will exist,
you'll need:
$arts = mgd_list_topic_articles($topicid);
$duplicate = 0;
while (!$duplicate && $arts && $arts->fetch()) {
$duplicate = ($arts->name == $newname);
}
if ($duplicate) { echo "Don't think so Jose"; }
else { /* create article here */ }
