Users registration isn't stored

Post by John404 »

Starting off, i'm really new to all of this, so I might not be using the right words :oops:

I have my site and the database set up correctly (I think), but whenever someone attempts to register on the site, nothing is saved in the database and it tells them there username/password does not exists.

I'm trying to figure out where the problem is. I looked in the database.php file and I thought I filled in all the areas to connect to the database like I did in the dbcon.php files, but it also asked for the SERVER and the LINK which I was a bit thrown off by.

I know this isn't A LOT of info, but if anyone has any idea what the problem might be, your help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

When starting off, as you say you are, it's a good idea to start at the beginning. You need to learn the basics of using PHP and MySQL to create web pages. I recommend the following online tutorials:
http://www.freewebmasterhelp.com/tutorials/phpmysql
http://www.phpf1.com/tutorial/php-mysql-tutorial.html
http://dev.mysql.com/tech-resources/art ... index.html
http://www.php-mysql-tutorial.com/wikis ... abase.aspx
http://php.about.com/od/phpwithmysql/ss/mysql_php.htm
http://www.w3schools.com/PHP/php_mysql_connect.asp
That may seem like a lot to read, but it's the only way you will learn how to do this.
