Question

im using Drupal,

im comparing two fields, when the fields are true I want the form being viewed to submit, but by a different user to the one viewing the form.

I get list of users by uid, maybe using the following code

$submitter = db_result(db_query('SELECT uid FROM {bidtable} WHERE nid = %d', $node->nid ORDER BY rand ));

then I compare 2 values

if ($match < $bcd) {}

but i need some code which will submit the form, and set the author or submitter to a random user from my table.

It sounds like you need to use the INSERT … SELECT query.
