I had used this simple script below to register users on a site which i was building and it worked. After several updates of the database, the same script won’t work again. The error message is displayed directly below the script.
<?php //address error handling ini_set ('display_errors', 1); error_reporting (E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE); // Check if he wants to register: if (!empty($_POST[username])) { // Check if passwords match. if ($_POST[password] != $_POST[password2]) exit("Error - Passwords don't match. Please go back and try again."); // Assign some variables. $date = mktime(0,0,0,date("m"),date("d"),date("Y")); $ip = $_SERVER[REMOTE_ADDR]; require_once("config.php"); // Register him. $query = mysql_query("INSERT INTO members (member_id, username, firstname, lastname, password, register_date, ip) VALUES (0, '$_POST[username]','$_POST[firstname]','$_POST[lastname]','$_POST[password]','$date','$ip')") or die ('Could not register user becasue: ' .mysql_error().'.
); echo "Welcome $_POST[username]! You've been successfully reigstered!Please login here."; exit(); } ?> Register
