Hi. I have a problem with people registering to my site. People can only register using firefox, And i have not got a clue why they can not register using any other browser.. For example if they register using Internet explorer they go through the normal procedure but then when they have finnished they dont get an email with there activation code, or password and they dont even register on my database.. Only Firefox will allow them to register successfully. Any advice or help would be very greatfull. Thanks Ritchie
i safely assume you have fully HTML validated your pages !! to test why you need to give All DETAILS - hence full URL to the page that causes problems.
I'm not too sure about this, but it could possibly be because of your form action being blank. Try changing the action to action="register.php" and see if that helps.
I have been able to register with IE. Just the message was not visible until I looked at the source code. (It was in the very first line, infront of any <html> tags, etc...)
Here's a possibility: how are you checking for a POST? In Internet Explorer, when someone hits "enter", the form submits but $_POST['submit'] will *not* be set. In Firefox, it will. So, if you're doing if($_POST['submit']) to check for post, it will only work on IE if the user clicks the submit button, not if they hit enter. Could this be the case?
That could. You should always use if($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] == 'POST') because this is the only reliable way of knowing whether or not a form is submitted.
And as for the message being in front of the HTML tags... well you should simply take a good look at what situation might cause that kind of output and I'm sure you'll locate what's causing the problem.
I have an update, i have got the register form to work so its it recognising the registration now, where as before when people registered the form would reset. But now the only problem im having is its not sending the email out
No nothing at all. It all goes through the registration process no problem. Just no email is been sent to them with there login details Like there password.
Same here. But I am sure this is what you are talking about as the issue at hand. Is those who reg in IE and having an email sent for validation and with the password info right?
