    Hi folks:
    For some strange reasons password fails to register This is html and some php coding--no data entry into mysql table required. Thanks.
    <!DOCTYPE HTML>
    <html>
    <head>
    <style>
    .error {
    color: #FF0000;
    }
    #form label{
    float:left;
    width:150px;
    }

    </style>
    </head>
    <body>

    <?php
    // define variables and set to empty values
    $usernameErr = $passwordErr = $firstnameErr = $surnameErr = "";
    $username = $password =$firstname= $surname = "";

    if ($_SERVER["REQUEST_METHOD"] == "POST") {
    if (empty($_POST["username"])) {
    $usernameErr = "userName is required";
    }else{
    $username = test_input($_POST["username"]);
    // check if name only contains letters and whitespace
    if (!preg_match("/^[a-zA-Z ]*$/",$username)) {
    $usernameErr = "Only letters and white space allowed";
    }
    }

    if (empty($_POST["Password"])){
    $passwordErr = "password is required";
    }else {
    $password = test_input($_POST["password"]);
    // check if password is ok
    if(!preg_match("/^[a-zA-Z0-9&<{}*^#]*$/",$password)) {
    $passwordErr = "Only letters and numbers and special characters are allowed";
    }
    }
    if (empty($_POST["firstname"])) {
    $firstnameErr = "firstName is required";
    } else {
    $firstname = test_input($_POST["firstname"]);
    // check if name only contains letters and whitespace
    if (!preg_match("/^[a-zA-Z ]*$/",$firstname)) {
    $firstnameErr = "Only letters and white space allowed";
    }
    }
    if (empty($_POST["surname"])) {
    $surnameErr = "surname is required";
    } else {
    $surname= test_input($_POST["surname"]);
    // check if name only contains letters and whitespace
    if (!preg_match("/^[a-zA-Z ]*$/",$surname)) {
    $usernameErr = "Only letters and white space allowed";
    }
    }

    }

    function test_input($data) {
    $data = trim($data);
    $data = stripslashes($data);
    $data = htmlspecialchars($data);
    return $data;
    }
    ?>

    <h2>PHP Form Validation Example</h2>
    <p><span class="error">* required field.</span></p>
    <div id="form">
    <form method="post" action="<?php echo htmlspecialchars($_SERVER["PHP_SELF"]);?>">
    <label type="text" name="username">User Name:</label>
    <input type="text" name="username" value="<?php echo $username;?>">
