Help... i'm a little rusty again :S

THis is beginning to drive me a little insane... i know the problem lays in my error checking, and possibly obtaining the form data, can somebody please help me see what's wrong? My code is

<?php

//Welcome to the register page ^-^

include_once('config.php');

//just a check to see if the user is logged in
//if they are then they can't register again'

if($logged == "1"){
	
	include_once($headerinc);
	
	echo 'You are already a registered member. You have no need to register again.<BR />';
	
	include_once($footerinc);
	
	exit;
	
}

if($_POST){
	
	//time to get the data from the form
	
	$reguser = getprotect($_POST['reguser']);
	$regmail = getprotect($_POST['regmail']);
	$regmail2 = getprotect($_POST['regmail2']);
	$regpass = getprotect($_POST['regpass1']);
	$regpass2 = getprotect($_POST['regpass2']);
	$ip = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];
	$regnet = getprotect($_POST['regnet']);
	
	
				//now we've set data into variables, lets go
				
				$regerrors = array();
				
				if(empty($reguser)){$regerrors[]= "Please enter a username <br />";} ELSE{
					$reguseravail = "SELECT * FROM user WHERE username='".$reguser."'";
					$reguseravailrun = mysql_query($reguseravail);
					$reguseravailcount = mysql_num_rows($reguseravailrun);
					if($reguseravailcount != 1){$regerrors[]= "The username you have selected is already taken <br />";}
				}
				if(empty($regmail)){$regerrors[]= "Please enter an email address <br />";}
				if(empty($regmail2)){$regerrors[]= "Please confirm your email address <br />";}
				if($regmail != $regmail2){$regerrors[] = "The email addresses you entered do not match <br />";}
				if(empty($regpass)){$regerrors[]= "Please enter a password <br />";}
				if(empty($regpass2)){$regerrors[]= "Please confirm a password <br />";}
				if($regpass != $regpass2){$regerrors[] = "The passwords you enter do not match <br />";} ELSE {
					$regpassmd5 = md5($regpass);
				}
				
				
				if(count($regerrors) == 0){
					
					$adduser = "INSERT INTO user ('username', 'password', 'email', 'ip', 'network') VALUES ('".$reguser."','".$regpassmd5."','".$regmail."','".$ip."','".$regnet."')";
					$runadd = mysql_query($adduser);
					
					if($runadd){
						
						include_once($headerinc);
						
						echo 'Your account was created successfully. Please click <A href="http://www.getfreetopups.co.uk/login.php">HERE</A> to login.';
						
					} ELSE {

						echo 'There was an error creating your account. Please try again.';
					
						
					}
					
					
				} ELSE {
					
					include_once($headerinc);
					
					echo 'The following errors occurred:<br /><FONT color=#F00';
					
					foreach($regerrors as $regerrprint){
						
						echo $regerrprint;						
						
					}
					
					echo'</FONT><br /><br />';
					
					echo '

PHP:

 

What error are you getting?

Put:

error_reporting(E_ALL);

as the first line of php code...

 

getprotect? where is this function?

 

getprotect is my own function defined in config.php... there are no errors in config.php or my functions defined within it. I know for some reason that this script isn't getting the data from the form at times :S Thank you for the error reporting function. I'll test it, and let you know how that turns out.

As a question, where does error_reporting(E_ALL); put the error reports?

 

It puts it on the page itself. As a general rule, they will be displayed above the script being executed. For instance, say you have a form in a php-file, with lots of PHP before the actual HTML with the form, and you use the error_reporting(E_ALL); on the top, before any of the other PHP - you would get all errors output on the page above the form.

 

ok, that form just says that there was an issue with a variable i set in config.php, since i tried calling it when it wasn't set, that's now been fixed, however, there is still the same issue. I think i'm going to rewrite the page from scratch, and see if i can make any difference that way. Thank you for your time
