thanks for thr link but i am familliar with the html part. What i don't understand is why the saved html file which is being called by a php command in the next page of the tutorial shows the form but also shows: **** "You did not submit the following required information! First Name is a required field. Please enter it below. Last Name is a required field. Please enter it below. Email Address is a required field. Please enter it below. Desired Username is a required field. Please enter it below." **** ...even though I submitted information. This leads me to belive that there should be some additional code with the forms in the html file. Am i wrong?

Hello, Can't find a 'noob' forum so forgive me if this question is too dumb for words. I just started learning php last week and at my current stage, learn somthing new with every little paragraph i read. I am using a mac with apache and MySQL installed and i have an account with 1&1. (i'm not trying to give my life story, just painting a picture of my incompitence.) I am a big believer in being throw in the deep and learning quickely. So anyway, I have gone through phpfreak's tutorial about setting up user accounts. It's a great tutorial and it taught me loads of stuff but i can't get passed the information collection form part on page 3. It kind of assumes that you know how to set up the collection forms. He tells you what it does but does not give any code. Here is the page i mean: http://www.phpfreaks.com/tutorials/40/2.php Please help. Thanks, J
