The code on the config.php file is fine

There is something wrong with your insert query.

Change

$sql="INSERT INTO $tbl_name(confirm_code, name, address, address1, address2, address3, address4, country, zip, telephone, email, username, password)VALUES('$confirm_code', '$name', '$address', '$address1', '$address2','$address3', '$address4','$country' ,'$zip', '$telephone', '$email', '$username', '$password',)";
$result=mysql_query($sql);

To

$sql="INSERT INTO $tbl_name(confirm_code, name, address, address1, address2, address3, address4, country, zip, telephone, email, username, password)VALUES('$confirm_code', '$name', '$address', '$address1', '$address2','$address3', '$address4','$country' ,'$zip', '$telephone', '$email', '$username', '$password')";
$result=mysql_query($sql)or die(mysql_error());

Tell us what it outputs.

Now getting the error:

Unknown column 'country' in 'field list'

revraz · November 26, 2007

And country is a valid column in your Table?

mikebyrne · November 26, 2007

No, I had county instead of country!!! Fixed that, now getting the error:

Warning: mail() [function.mail]: SMTP server response: 550 Address '<root@localhost>' not known here. in C:\xampp\htdocs\signup_ac.php on line 49

Cannot send Confirmation link to your e-mail address

My mail server is running in the background

If i try an hotmail address etc, I get:

Warning: mail() [function.mail]: SMTP server response: 553 We do not relay non-local mail, sorry. in C:\xampp\htdocs\signup_ac.php on line 49

Cannot send Confirmation link to your e-mail address

mikebyrne · November 26, 2007

Changed email address to usertest@localhost and that worked

Is there a way I can send it to an external email address such as hotmail. I'm using Xampp with Mercury Mail

You many have to see if your ISP requires authentication to mail out when using PHP.

mikebyrne · November 26, 2007

Ok I'll look into that, Thanks!

Getting another problem now. When I click on my confirmation link, I'm getting the error:

Query was empty

Looking in the temp_users table and everything has gone in so not sure why its empty
