My script does nothing

[Nexus10]

<?php  // Back-end for user registration

session_start();
include("config.php");
include("openDatabase.php");

$user_name = strip_tags($_POST["userName"]); // Strip_tags removes anything enclosed by < or > (i.e. scripts/html etc)
$email = strip_tags($_POST["email"]);
$password1 = strip_tags($_POST["password1"]);
$password2 = strip_tags($_POST["password2"]);

echo($email);

$_SESSION['account_err'] = ""
$_SESSION['register_userName'] = $user_name // Stores the entered data to repopulate the form if necessary if the user needs to correct anything
$_SESSION['register_email'] = $email

include("config.php"); // MYSQL connection details
include("openDatabase.php"); // Connects to the database

if (strlen($user_name) < 5){ // User name has be minimum 5 characters in length
$_SESSION['account_err'] = "Error: User name must be 5 characters or longer.";
endif

if (strlen($email) < 6) // Poor check to check at least something has been entered into the field
$_SESSION['account_err'] = "Error: A valid email address is needed!";
end if

if ($password1 <> $password2){ // Checks if passwor
$_SESSION['account_err'] = "Error: Password's do not match!";
else {
if (strlen($password1) < 5){ // Password has to be minimum 5 characters in length
	$_SESSION['account_err'] = "Error: Password must be 5 characters or longer.";
endif
endif

$errStatus =  $_SESSION['account_err']
echo("Err status: $errStatus");

if ($_SESSION['account_err'] = ""){ // No errors in data submitted for registration
$query = "INSERT INTO Users(user_name, date_registered, password, email) VALUES ($user_name, date("Y/m/d"), $password1, $email)";
mysql_query($query) or die("Error: Registration not saved. Please let us know at ???@???.com");
endif ?>

 

when the above file is called after a user has submitted their details to register, this file loads in the browser but nothing occurs, no error or anything

First thing I would do is put some echo statements in to find out where it is going wrong.  eg:

 

<?php  // Back-end for user registration
echo 1;
session_start();
echo 2;
include("config.php");
echo 3;
include("openDatabase.php");
echo 4;

 

Is something going wrong in one of your include files (which you include again a little further in your script)?

Nothing echo's, not even '1'.

The script has at least 10 parse errors. That's why it wont do anything. You've conflated two different syntaxes of if/else/elseif. You're missing a bunch of semi-colons. You're using an assignment operator '=' instead of a comparison operator '=='. I'll guarantee this script is producing errors, you just can't see them because you don't have error reporting on in php.ini.
