as you can see the labels and the text boxes are in separate divs, i found it the best way to keep the text boxes in line.
and here is the regform.php that processes the registration

<?php 
// Connects to your Database 
mysql_connect("localhost", "root", "") or die(mysql_error()); 
mysql_select_db("phplogin") or die(mysql_error()); 

//This code runs if the form has been submitted
if (isset($_POST['submit'])) { 

//This makes sure they did not leave any fields blank
if (!$_POST['username'] | !$_POST['pass'] | !$_POST['pass2'] | !$_POST['usertype'] | !$_POST['emailaddress'] | !$_POST['emailaddress2'] | !$_POST['gender'] | !$_POST['day'] | !$_POST['month'] | !$_POST['year'] | !$_POST['country'])
{
die('You did not complete all of the required fields');
}

$yearofbirth = $_POST['year'];
$monthofbirth = $_POST['month'];
$dayofbirth = $_POST['day'];
$hyphen = ('-');
$dateofbirth = ("$yearofbirth.$hyphen.$monthofbirth.$hyphen.$dayofbirth");

// checks if the username is in use
if (!get_magic_quotes_gpc()) {
$_POST['username'] = addslashes($_POST['username']);
}
$usercheck = $_POST['username'];
$check = mysql_query("SELECT username FROM users WHERE username = '$usercheck'") 
or die(mysql_error());
$check2 = mysql_num_rows($check);

//if the name exists it gives an error
if ($check2 != 0) {
die('Sorry, the username '.$_POST['username'].' is already in use.');
}

// this makes sure both passwords entered match
if ($_POST['pass'] != $_POST['pass2']) {
die('Your passwords did not match. ');
}

if ($_POST['emailaddress'] != $_POST['emailaddress2'])
{
	die('Your email addresses do not match.');
}

// here we encrypt the password and add slashes if needed
$_POST['pass'] = md5($_POST['pass']);
if (!get_magic_quotes_gpc())
{
$_POST['pass'] = addslashes($_POST['pass']);
$_POST['username'] = addslashes($_POST['username']);
$_POST['usertype'] = addslashes($_POST['usertype']);
$_POST['emailaddress'] = addslashes($_POST['emailaddress']);
$_POST['gender'] = addslashes($_POST['gender']);
$_POST['country'] = addslashes($_POST['country']);
$dateofbirth = addslashes($dateofbirth);
}

// now we insert it into the database
$insert = "INSERT INTO users (username, password, usertype, emailaddress, gender, dateofbirth, country)
VALUES ('".$_POST['username']."', '".$_POST['pass']."', '".$_POST['usertype']."', '".$_POST['emailaddress']."', '".$_POST['gender']."', '".$dateofbirth."', '".$_POST['country']."')";
$add_member = mysql_query($insert);
header( 'Location: http://localhost/artists.php');
?>

its based on the php.about login script... its cracking me up i keep getting

Parse error: parse error in wamp\www\regform.php on line 63
line 63 is the line with the ?>

using wamp, new to php, is there something in php.ini needs changed? can you make regform run as a script and not as a page?

thanks, enzo420

You never close this if check

if (isset($_POST['submit'])) {
<?php 
// Connects to your Database 
mysql_connect("localhost", "root", "") or die(mysql_error()); 
mysql_select_db("phplogin") or die(mysql_error()); 

//This code runs if the form has been submitted
if (isset($_POST['submit'])) { 

//This makes sure they did not leave any fields blank
if (!$_POST['username'] | !$_POST['pass'] | !$_POST['pass2'] | !$_POST['usertype'] | !$_POST['emailaddress'] | !$_POST['emailaddress2'] | !$_POST['gender'] | !$_POST['day'] | !$_POST['month'] | !$_POST['year'] | !$_POST['country'])
{
die('You did not complete all of the required fields');
}

$yearofbirth = $_POST['year'];
$monthofbirth = $_POST['month'];
$dayofbirth = $_POST['day'];
$hyphen = ('-');
$dateofbirth = ("$yearofbirth.$hyphen.$monthofbirth.$hyphen.$dayofbirth");

// checks if the username is in use
if (!get_magic_quotes_gpc()) {
$_POST['username'] = addslashes($_POST['username']);
}
$usercheck = $_POST['username'];

thanks, that seems to fix something, cant believe i missed an open bracket.

now i get this

Notice: Undefined index: day in
wamp\www\regform.php on line 10

Notice: Undefined index: month in
wamp\www\regform.php on line 10

Notice: Undefined index: year in
wamp\www\regform.php on line 10
You did not complete all of the required fields

when i have filled in the form (and all required fields), whatever way i enter variables php doesnt seem to register them or something

My guess would be that they are case sensitive. In your HTML the ones that are saying undefined start with capital letters.

yea sorry i forgot to add that i changed that before i added my last response, all cases are the same.. im pretty sure its whatever way wamp has set up the php

yea ive fixed the problem, php doesnt seem to like accepting values from 2 different div/forms, i put the date of birth form inside the div with the other text fields and it worked fine, thanks for your speedy responses shawn
