Well, stop using deprecated code. Use PDO or mysqli.

Have you tried changing...

if(isset($_POST['submit'])){

...to...

if(isset($_POST['Submit'])){

...or change...

name="Submit" 

...to...

name="submit" 

...on the button?

Could be that simple? As "Submit" does not = "submit"

morning people sorry i was asleep last night

I have made some changes and this is how the code looks now

} 
?>

I'm now getting the following

Notice: Undefined variable: email2 in C:\xampp\htdocs\register.php on line 31
Sorry your email's do not match, please try again
<

mysql_query("INSERT INTO 'users' ('id, 'name', 'lname'; 'email', 'pass',) VALUES (NULL, '@$name', '$lname', '$uname', '$email1', '$pass1',) ") or die(mysql_error());

This is also invalid. It should be with backticks for the column names, and without semi-colons and the comma at the end. And no @:

mysql_query("INSERT INTO `users` (`id`, `name`, `lname`, `email`, `pass`) VALUES (NULL, '$name', '$lname', '$uname', '$email1', '$pass1') ") or die(mysql_error());

I have changed that but still getting the following error message :

Notice: Undefined variable: email2 in C:\xampp\htdocs\register.php on line 31
Sorry your email's do not match, please try again
<

There is no email2 input in the latest code you posted.

no ive changed it again since then sorry i'm tripping myself up....

this is the code now as it stands

Column count doesn't match value count at row 1

You are inserting 6 values into the table with only 5 columns..I think you missed out uname in the insert statement.
