Register form help

[bremen1984]

Hi all i have a Register form that is driving me crazy, i have been working on this for 2 days now and not getting any where.

it keeps running this code:

} else { // If it did not run OK.

            echo '<p class="error">You could not be registered due to a system error. We apologize for any inconvenience.</p>';

 

and i do not get why. here is the full code hope some one can help. thanks

<?php

Is error_reporting set to E_ALL and display_errors set to ON so that the or trigger_error() logic would actually do anything?
