Hi guys,

I have been following the tutorial for the user login system on PHPFreaks but I have a problem with posting the data from the regsitration form to the validation page, all I get is the form reloading itself when I hit the submit button...

I have tried the following:

<form name=form1 method=post action=register.php>
<form name=form1 method=post action="register.php">
<form name=form1 method=post action=/home/fhlinux245/h/blahdeblah.com/user/htdocs/register.php>

I am sure that this should be oh so simple, and yet I am stuck....

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

G

I'm having a few problems with the register.php file, but then wouldn't I at least get an error when it tried to post rather than just returning back to the registration page?

Everything below the post is just html for the fields, there is no other php below there.

Thanks,

G

Ok, the join form is like so:

<?php
# starting the session here

if ($_SESSION['email_address'] != "youremail@here.com" ) {
echo "<b>Welcome.</b><br><br><br>";

# this prevents a user from typing or pasting a URL string
# into their browser to get to this page. If the $first_name
# variable is empty, then they log in like everyone else.
if ( empty( $first_name ) ) {
print "Please Register Below";

}
}
?>

I changed a little bit here from phpfreak's awesome tutorial on this subject. When I would get data from the user, I would not get an unencrypted password, only the md5 encrypted one. I couldn't use that, and me being the powertrip guy, I wrote in another little snippet to grab that password before it gets encrypted and stuff it into a blank variable, and write it to the database. Pretty nifty, eh?
