below is the code for a registration form. It "works",I mean that the insert query is being performed, some error messages appear. the problem is, i don't understand how "root" is being automatically sent to the database as a username.

 

when logging into phpmyadmin, the username root appears because it is on autofill. but, i don't get why it's filling the registration form with root. i don't see "root" entered on the form, but, after registering, it says "Congratulations root!". If i leave the form blank, i don't get the error message for blank username either.

 

i've just started learning php,so i guess something might be wrong with the code.

any help, plz?

your problem is actualy in here:

"../scripts/connect_to_mysql.php"

this page is overwriting the value of $username with your database account username.

 

be carefull about the names you give your variables.

 

change 

$username = 'root'

and 

mysql_connect($host, $username, $ password)

so that they do not use the variable $username, but rather use $db_usr
