Take a look there and work out how you can fix that. > <? > $email=$HTTP_POST_VARS['email']; > $passwd=$HTTP_POST_VARS['passwd']; > $passwd2=$HTTP_POST_VARS['passwd2']; > $title=$HTTP_POST_VARS['title']; > $name1=$HTTP_POST_VARS['name1']; > $name2=$HTTP_POST_VARS['name2']; > $phone=$HTTP_POST_VARS['phone']; > $mobile=$HTTP_POST_VARS['mobile']; > $address1=$HTTP_POST_VARS['address1']; > $address2=$HTTP_POST_VARS['address2']; > $town=$HTTP_POST_VARS['town']; > $pb=$HTTP_POST_VARS['pb']; > $country=$HTTP_POST_VARS['country']; > $occupation=$HTTP_POST_VARS['occupation']; > > session_start(); Cheers!
