The form passes the variables to a php script called join.php by<form action="join.php" method="post"> . join.php checks the db to see if their email address or their username is in it.if not it mail them the username and password they chose. I also need to make sure they checked the accept $checkbox. I was thinking along the line of if ($checkbox <=0); echo "you must accept the rules, before you can join"; else I don't know if <=0 will work.
