I finally put together enough stuff and had enough help to get this membership system up and working 
First problem is that when a member registers, it gives this error:
You did not submit the following required information! — Email Address
Even though I do submit one, I cannot figure out why it wont stay - Any help? Here is the code below for this page.
[php]<?php
$errorMsg = “”;
// First we check to see if the form has been submitted
if (isset($_POST[‘username’])){
//Connect to the database through our include
include_once “/mypersonalsql.php”;
// Filter the posted variables
$username = ereg_replace("[^A-Za-z0-9]", “”, $_POST[‘username’]); // filter everything but numbers and letters
$country = ereg_replace("[^A-Z a-z0-9]", “”, $_POST[‘country’]); // filter everything but spaces, numbers, and letters
$state = ereg_replace("[^A-Z a-z0-9]", “”, $_POST[‘state’]); // filter everything but spaces, numbers, and letters
$city = ereg_replace("[^A-Z a-z0-9]", “”, $_POST[‘city’]); // filter everything but spaces, numbers, and letters
$accounttype = ereg_replace("[^a-z]", “”, $_POST[‘accounttype’]); // filter everything but lowercase letters
$email = stripslashes($_POST[‘email’]);
$email = strip_tags($email);
$email = mysql_real_escape_string($email);
$password = ereg_replace("[^A-Za-z0-9]", “”, $_POST[‘password’]); // filter everything but numbers and letters
// Check to see if the user filled all fields with
// the “Required”(*) symbol next to them in the join form
// and print out to them what they have forgotten to put in
if((!$username) || (!$country) || (!$state) || (!$city) || (!$accounttype) || (!$email) || (!$password)){
$errorMsg = "You did not submit the following required information!<br /><br />";
if(!$username){
$errorMsg .= "--- User Name";

} else {

$sql_username_check = mysql_query("SELECT id FROM members WHERE username='$username' LIMIT 1");
$sql_email_check = mysql_query("SELECT id FROM members WHERE email='$email' LIMIT 1");
