$tbl_name="adminusers";


$name = mysql_real_escape_string(trim($_POST['name']));
$address = mysql_real_escape_string(trim($_POST['address']));
$address1 = mysql_real_escape_string(trim($_POST['address1']));
$address2 = mysql_real_escape_string(trim($_POST['address2']));
$address3 = mysql_real_escape_string(trim($_POST['address3']));
$county = mysql_real_escape_string(trim($_POST['county']));
$zip = mysql_real_escape_string(trim($_POST['zip']));
$telephone = mysql_real_escape_string(trim($_POST['telephone']));
$motelephone = mysql_real_escape_string(trim($_POST['motelephone']));
$email = mysql_real_escape_string(trim($_POST['email']));
$password =mysql_real_escape_string(trim($_POST['password']));
$username = mysql_real_escape_string(trim($_POST['username']));

$user = mysql_real_escape_string(htmlspecialchars($_POST['username']));


$sql = "SELECT name FROM adminusers WHERE username ='$user'";
$result = mysql_query($sql) or die("Error in SQL: ".mysql_error());
$row = mysql_fetch_array($result);
$count = mysql_num_rows($result);

$test = $row['name'];


			if ($count > 0) { // username should only exist once.
			$valid=0;
			$style_username = "background-color:#FF5959";
			$error_username = "Error! The username " . $user . " already exists in the database.";
							}

			if ($password == "" || strlen($password)<7) {
                $valid=0;
                $style_password = "background-color:#FF5959";
                $error_password = "Theres a problems with your password?<br>";

        						}

Arrays.  In fact, I'd use an array to build the list in the first place:

 

$birthMonths=array("Jan", "Feb", "Mar", "Apr", "May", "Jun", "Jul", "Aug", "Sep", "Oct", "Nov", "Dec");

echo '<select name="birthMonth">';
for($i=0;$i<count(birthMonths);$i++){
  echo '<option value="' .$i . '">' . $birthMonths[$i] . '</option>';
}
echo '</select name>';

 

Then to get the value (when the script runs):

 

$birthMonth = $birthMonths[$_POST['birthMonth']]

Im kinda stuck with this structure now, time issues!!

 

For example in Birthdate

 

<td align="right"><span class="t11br">*</span> Birthdate:</td>
<td>
<select class="byp" name="birthdate">
<option value="" selected ></option>

<option value="1">1</option>
<option value="2">2</option>
<option value="3">3</option>
<option value="4">4</option>
<option value="5">5</option>
<option value="6">6</option>
<option value="7">7</option>
<option value="8">8</option>
<option value="9">9</option>

<option value="10">10</option>
<option value="11">11</option>
<option value="12">12</option>
<option value="13">13</option>
<option value="14">14</option>
<option value="15">15</option>
<option value="16">16</option>
<option value="17">17</option>
<option value="18">18</option>

<option value="19">19</option>
<option value="20">20</option>
<option value="21">21</option>
<option value="22">22</option>
<option value="23">23</option>
<option value="24">24</option>
<option value="25">25</option>
<option value="26">26</option>
<option value="27">27</option>

<option value="28">28</option>
<option value="29">29</option>
<option value="30">30</option>
<option value="31">31</option>
</select>

 

How do I declare what the user selects into a varible $birthdate??

1) what I just gave you uses the same structure--just creates the HTML code with less coding.

 

2) even if you don't want to use that code to build the form, use the array to retrieve the value (for the months, years and countries--not needed with the date).

 

Using the following, if the user selects 4, $birthdate will be 4.

$birthdate = $_POST['birthdate'];

I'll give you a quick little tutorial to try and help.

 

In the following code, we create a select item (aka drop down list).

<select name=birthdate>
  <option value="1">1</option>
  <option value="2">2</option>
  ....... I'm sure you can see where this going
</select>

 

The field name is birthdate.  In the script that processes your form, you retrieve the field's value using the following:

$birthdate = $_POST['birthdate']

 

The variable will contain the "VALUE" specified in the value parameter of the option.  So if the user chooses 2, then the variable will be set to 2.  What is placed between the opening and closing of the option is what gets displayed in the list.

 

Now consider the birthmonth list:

<select name=birthmonth>
  <option value=1>Jan</option>   This will display Jan--but choosing this will set the variable to 1.
  <option value=2>Feb</option>   This will display Feb--but choosing this will set the variable to 2.
  ..... Again, I'm sure you can see where this is going.
</select>

 

So in the script that process your form, if you create an array of months:

$months= array("Jan", "Feb", "Mar", "Apr", "May", "Jun", "Jul", "Aug", "Sep", "Oct", "Nov", "Dec");

 

Then if the user chose Jan from the list, the following code would cause 1-Jan to be echo'd to the browser:

$birthmonth = $_POST['birthmonth'];
echo $birthmonth . " - " . $months[$birthmonth];

 

Once you have that info, you can do anything you want with it.
