Hey PHP coders,

 

Having trouble with a small application here. I copy/pasted 4 files below.  My connect.php (Is the database connection with username, password, etc), index.html (file used to get user information for upload --- its a  form that (redirects to create_user.php),  create_user.php (my sql statements to upload the form into the database, show_user.php (redirected from create_user.php that should be populated with user information and should show up [however it does not].  

 

WHAT AM I DOING WRONG HERE??????

 

 

PLEASE LET ME KNOW.  THANKS IN ADVANCE.  

 

 

I AM USING LOCALHOST..

        or die ("<p>Error connecting to database: " .
                mysql_error() . "</p>");
 header("Location: show_user.php?user_id=" . mysql_insert_id());
         //      exit();
