      <br />
      <input type="text" name="parkname"> 
      <strong>Park Name:</strong>    <br>
      <br />
      <input type="text" name="parklocation"> 
      <strong>Park Location</strong>:
    <br>
      <br />
      <input type="text" name="caravandetails"> 
      <strong>Caravan Details</strong>:
    <p><strong>
    <br/>
      <input type="submit" value="submit"/> 
    </div>
</form>

HTML:

and this is the add to database php

$region=$_POST['region']; 
$name=$_POST['name'];
$username=$_POST['username'];
$password=$_POST['password'];
$email=$_POST['email']; 
$parkname=$_POST['parkname'];
$parklocation=$_POST['parklocation'];
$caravandetails=$_POST['caravandetails']; 
$pname=$_POST['pname'];
mysql_query("INSERT INTO `members` VALUES ('region', '$name', '$username', '$password', '$email', '$parkname', '$parklocation', '$caravandetails', '$pname')"); 

PHP:

all that is happening is it writes region to the database and not what was selected
