i guess that the only things you need to do is to have a validation from the school and not to write on your logbook that you ve done those hours shared..isn't it? looking for somebody who has done in this way..! if you write hours as pic and yo do not add anything else how can the authorities know if you were solo or not..?
It is called integrity. You either choose to have integrity or choose not to. If you don't have integrity, you might get away with it, but that is not the kind of person I want to fly with. I know some people who have their own "interpretation" of the regulations and have used "tricks" to make the time count, but honestly, I don't agree.

Also, under FAA rules, part 61.51 says you must log:
(v) The name of a safety pilot, if required by § 91.109 of this chapter.
so if you don't write the name of the safety pilot, then it is a violation of the regulation.

Of course if you want to just log the time hoping that the "authorities not know if you were solo/PIC," how is that different then just making up fake hours in your logbook?

There is a well defined line between legal and not legal. It is up to you to choose which side you will stay on. I know what kind of pilot I would rather have flying along side me. Don't be such a cheapskate, fork out the money necessary to log your time legally and properly, have some integrity, and when in doubt, log conservatively.
