<?php
if(!filter_var($_POST['email'], FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL))
  {
 //email valid
  }
else
  {
  //not valid
  }
//in username u have to make select query to see if user exist in youre database
$check = mysql_query("select username from members where username='$_POST[username]'");
if(mysql_num_rows($check)<1){
//username availble
}
else{
//username taken
}
?>

theres a lot of way to validate variables. do some experiment

cheers :)
