H-
Really, that's strange.
Try printing out your variables and seeing what is actually being
passed.
print "FNAME:$fname:\n";
With the : : colons surrounding your variable you can see what if
anything is actually in $fname.
Also it might have been a typo on your part but be sure to check for
single = and double == when using your if statements.
For debugging purposes do simple stuff first.
if ($fname == "") {
print "NOTHING HERE\n";
// header("Location: http://callook.org/member_joinform.html");
} else {
print "Got Something: FNAME:$fname:\n";
if (1 == 2) {
$db = mysql_connect("localhost", "name", "password");
mysql_select_db("dBase",$db);
$sql = "INSERT INTO
members
(fname,lname,address,city,state,zip,country,email,username,password)
VALUES
('$fname','$lname','$address','$city','$state','$zip','$country','$email','$user
name','$password')";
$result = mysql_query($sql);
} # end if block commentor for multipe line comments. It's cleaner. 8^)
} end if-else check.
Hope this is helpful.
