I tested this php form, and it worked on 2 out of three computers, all of which were on different networks. The one that didn't work stalled after I hit submit . . . all I got was a blank page . . . no error messages or anything. This happened whether it was on a PC or Mac, in Firefox, or IE. Any ideas what could be causing it? Thanks.

I am using it with the following script to create new users, though I don't think this is the problem:
#!/bin/bash
emailgroupfolder=/home/emailgroup ## the folder in which you want new emailaccount homes to be created
emailgroupname=emailgroup ## the linux group to which your new email users will be assigned
useraddpath=/usr/sbin/useradd ## the path to the command useradd on your system (it's probably the same)
fname=$1
lname=$2
username=$3
password=$4
userlist=`cat /etc/passwd | cut -d: -f1 -s | grep $username`
enc_password=`/usr/bin/htpasswd2 -nb $username $password | cut -f2 -d :`
if [ $# -ne 4 ]; then
echo "error6" ## There are more than or fewer than 4 arguments (Somebody has put down their middle name, or left off their last name)
exit 1
fi
if [ "$username" = "$userlist" ] ; then ## Username already exists on the system
echo "error7"
exit 7;
fi
case "$fname" in
*[!a-zA-Z0-9]*) echo "error2"; exit 2;; ## First Name contains illegal characters
*);;
esac
case "$lname" in
*[!a-zA-Z0-9]*) echo "error3"; exit 3;; ## Last Name contains illegal characters
*);;
esac
case "$username" in
*[!a-zA-Z0-9]*) echo "error4"; exit 4;; ## Username contains illegal characters
*);;
esac
case "$password" in
*[!a-zA-Z0-9]*) echo "error5"; exit 5;; ## Password contains illegal characters
*);;
esac
/usr/sbin/useradd -m -c "$fname $lname" -d $emailgroupfolder/$username -p $enc_password -s '/bin/false' -g $emailgroupname -G 8 $username
