Warning Extract

Help AGAIN!!! Thank you for all the help so far, i am close to getting this members section working correctly now i think! I think i would have given up by now if it were not for the help i get from you all, thank you. I have a warning that i don't understand: Warning: extract() expects first argument to be an array in /home/.sites//New_member.php on line 23 I also find that although i get through to the new members page OK when filling in the form it does not write to the mysql database with the new details, yet if i enter a username that already exists it tells me, so the php and mysql must be interacting. Here is the code for the warning message, hope it helps: $connection = mysql_connect($host, $user,$password) or die ("Couldn't connect to server."); $db = mysql_select_db($database, $connection) or die ("Couldn't select database."); $sql = "SELECT name FROM members WHERE username='$logname'"; $result = mysql_query($sql) or die("Couldn't execute query 1."); $row = mysql_fetch_array($result,MYSQL_ASSOC); extract($row); echo "<html> <head><title>New Member Welcome</title></head> etc Thank you all again Andy
