Turn of full error reporting:

 

<?PHP

  error_reporting(E_ALL);
  ini_set("display_errors", 1);

?>

 

Also, this line:

 

if(!$_POST['username'] | !$_POST['pass']) {

 

Should be:

if(!$_POST['username'] || !$_POST['pass']) {

[loren646]

 <?php // Connects to your Database 
 
  error_reporting(E_ALL);
  ini_set("display_errors", 1);

added error checking.  added "//" before the email part (not sure why that's in there.) 

 

These are now the current errors:

Then there is your answer, look the errors up and you should be good to go.

[loren646]

In case anyone else is having this problem. For future reference. I deleted all the white space. I guess the formatting caused problems. 

SOLVED.
