Thanks for the advice guys, I think my pc has been due a reformat as I can't remember the last time I have done one and so thought it would be a good time to change os while i'm at it I know vista has improved greatly since release but skipping straight to 7 would be ideal. It can wait a few more days. I'll let you know how 7 works out for me Thanks again

hey guys I was thinking about changing my os I am running Intel Q6600 quadcore (2.4GHz), 4GB ram, GeForce 8600GT (512MB), 1.25 TB Storage (over 3 hard drives) Mostly used for gaming, music, internet and work I am currently running XP Premium SP3. Do you guys think I should move over to Vista, Wait for Windows 7 or stick with what I have any other information you need just ask Thanks Dowdy

try this if(strlen($username) == 0 || strlen($password) == 0) { echo "Error please try again"; } else if($rows['username'] == $username) { echo "Error username already in use"; } else if($rows['email'] == $email) { echo "Error email address already in use"; } else { mysql_query("INSERT INTO users (`username`, `password`, `email`) VALUES ('$username','$password','$email')") echo "Register Succesfull"; } hope this helps it should be easier to debug. like this you had a lot of excess close braces. if you tab every time you open a brace you'll find it easier to see whats going on

you could write a .htaccess file for each of your websites that would allow you to change rules such as register_globals for each site

I found the w3schools tutorials very helpful. I didn't start php programming that long ago and i'm now at least a competent programmer
