I have a user register form to create an account. When you try and hit submit, no action takes place for some reason...not even the reset button resets! I'm pretty sure the php part of it is right, maybe? I have no idea what the problem is. For a clearer understanding of my problem, go to www.verbazon.net/index.php?id=signup and try and hit submit and see what happens: NOTHING! Below is the code:

<?PHP
if(!is_null($_POST['username']) && !is_null($_POST['pass'])) {
//submit was pressed
//get user and pass variable data
$user=$_POST['username'];
$pass=$_POST['pass'];
//validation if submission
$user=strip_tags($user);
$pass=strip_tags($pass);
$user=str_replace(" ","",$user);
$pass=str_replace(" ","",$pass);
$user=str_replace("%20", "",$user);
$pass=str_replace("%20", "",$pass);
$user=addslashes($user);
$pass=addslashes($pass);

$min_length=7;

if((strlen($user) < $min_len) || (strlen($pass) < $min_len))
{
    die("Your username and/or password must have a minimum of 7 characters.");
}
//user and pass entered correctly - proceed to add to database
$dbaseuser="blah";
$dbasepassword="blah";
$dbasename="blah";
$connection=mysql_connect("localhost",$dbaseuser,$dbasepassword);
$db=mysql_select_db($dbasename);
$pass=md5($pass);
$request="INSERT INTO login values(0, '".$user.",'".$pass."')";
$results=mysql_query($request, $connection);
if($results)
{ echo "Your account has successfully been created";
}
else
{
    echo "There was an error creating your account. Please retry or contact the webmaster.";
    echo"<a href='www.verbazon.net/index.php?id=signup'>Go back</a>";
	mysql_error();
	exit;
}}
?> 
<html>
<link href="text.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">
<div align="center" class="text">
  <p>Insert a desired username and password in the fields below.</p>
  <table width="200" border="0" cellspacing="2" cellpadding="0">
    <tr>
      <td class="text">Username:</td>
      <td><form name="form1" method="post" action="<?php echo $_SERVER['php_self'] ?>">
        <input name="username" type="text" class="text" id="username">
      </form></td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      <td class="text">Password:</td>
      <td><input name="pass" type="text" class="text" id="pass"> 
        </td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      <td colspan="2"><div align="center" class="text">
        <input name="Submit" type="submit" class="text" value="Submit">
        <input name="Reset" type="reset" class="text" value="Reset">
      </div></td>
    </tr>
  </table>
</div>
</html>

Change:

$_SERVER['php_self']

to:

$_SERVER['[PHP_SELF']

Change:

$min_length=7;

to:

$min_len = 7;

since the 'if' statement uses $min_len and not $min_length.

I would not addslashes() on the username or password before checking the length. I would not do it on the password at all since you're using MD5().

I pretty sure it's because you've got the html for you submit and reset buttons outside your <form> tags.

should be something like :

<form name="form1" method="post" action="<?php echo $_SERVER['php_self'] ?>">
  <table width="200" border="0" cellspacing="2" cellpadding="0">
    <tr>
      <td class="text">Username:</td>
      <td>
        <input name="username" type="text" class="text" id="username">
      </td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      <td class="text">Password:</td>
      <td><input name="pass" type="text" class="text" id="pass">
        </td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      <td colspan="2"><div align="center" class="text">
        <input name="Submit" type="submit" class="text" value="Submit">
        <input name="Reset" type="reset" class="text" value="Reset">
      </div></td>
    </tr>
  </table>
</form>

With the <form> tags surrounding all the form elements.

SUCCESS!! I only have one problem now. If you go to my website where I have the code: www.verbazon.net/index.php?id=signup and hit submit, which works, the layout gets distorted for some odd reason. Any suggestions?

Can anyone help me out with this!?
