[php]<?php $con = mysql_connect("host ","username","password"); mysql_select_db("registration", $con); $id=$_POST['id']; $username=$_POST['username']; $password=$_POST['password']; $password=md5($pass); $confirm_password=$_POST['confirm_password']; $Fname =$_POST['fname']; $lname =$_POST['lname']; $email =$_POST['email']; $address =$_POST['address']; $city =$_POST['city']; $state =$_POST['state']; $zip =$_POST['zip']; $phone =$_POST['phone1']; $phone =$_POST['phone2']; $dob =$_POST['Birthday']; $sex =$_POST['sex']; $spouse =$_POST['spouse']; $sdob =$_POST['sBirthday']; $anniversary =$_POST['anniversary']; $facebook =$_POST['facebook']; $twitter =$_POST['twitter']; $google =$_POST['googleplus']; $linage =$_POST['linage']; $parents =$_POST['parents']; $grandparents =$_POST['grandparents']; $error1="'Error! The username you have chosen already exists!"; $result = mysql_query ("SELECT * FROM Registration WHERE username='$username'")); if($result == 1)
      {
    	echo $error1;
      }
     else
      {

mysql_query("INSERT INTO Registration
( username, password,fname,lname,email,address,city,state,zip,phone1,phone2,birthday,sex,spouse,
sbirthday,anniversary,facebook,twitter,googleplus,linage,parents,grandparents)

VALUES (’$username’,’$password’,’$firstname’,’$lastname’,’$email’,’$address’,’$city’,’$state’,’$zip’,’$phone’,
‘$dob’,’$sex’,’$spous’,’$sdob,’$anniversary’,’$facebook’,’$twitter’,’$google’,’$linage’,’$parents’,
‘$grandparents’)");
mysql_close($con);

?>[/php]

I keep getting the following error
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘)’ in D:\Hosting… on line 60

[php]$result = mysql_query
(“SELECT * FROM Registration WHERE
username=’$username’”));//two closing brackets, remove one of them[/php]

Just a note make sure you are using escape string for security
[php]$escaped_item = mysql_escape_string($POST[“item”]);[/php]

Then use strip_tags

[php]$escaped_item = strip_tags($escaped_item);[/php]
