You should have defined your globals when you were checking for them, like so:
if (!empty($_POST['firstname'])) {
$fn = $_POST['firstname'];
} else {
echo '<p>You did not enter your first name</p>';
}
This will allow you to use the $fn as first name instead of having to go
through what you did in your script.

I am not able to turn on register globals due to web
host restrictions. I tried your other suggestion but
got the following message:
Parse error: parse error, unexpected
T_ENCAPSED_AND_WHITESPACE, expecting T_STRING or
T_VARIABLE or T_NUM_STRING in
/my-directory-paths/register.php on line 6
line 6 is:
$sql = "INSERT INTO $table (firstname, lastname,
cpeyear, city, country, workplace, email, comments)
VALUES
($_POST['firstname'],$_POST['lastname'],$_POST['cpeyear'],$_POST['city'],$_POST['country'],$_POST['workplace'],$_POST['email'],$_POST['comments'])";
All variables are of varchar type in the db except for
comments which is longtext.
