You have several issues.

 

First, you are using deprecated code. You need to use PDO with prepared statements.

 

Next, you are setting post variables outside of your isset post check so you have errors there.

 

If you turned on error reporting you would see that as well as any other errors

 

You are also mixing mysql with mysqli. You cant do that.

 

Your code is also vulnerable to SQL Injection. You NEVER EVER send user supplied data directly to the database.

 

You need to rewrite the whole thing. None of your code is any good.

And you attempt to access something named 'submit' in the POST array.  You didn't assign a name= to your submit button so you have none.

 

For future reference (your next post?) - it's a better idea to actually indicate what you want in the subject/topic you post under.  Naming your post as you did here is not much help in getting the attention you seek, other than from the curious who have the time to browse everything.  Better pinpoint a topic that you wish help on than hope for someone's curiosity to cause them to read your question.
