Ricardo, I have noticed several things from just a quick look at your code: 1. If your not able to post any data/receive any variables from your form when the submit button is clicked, you could have register_globals set to Off. Here is a example form used for that situation: <form name="form1" method="post" action='<?php $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] ?>'> <center><input type="submit" name="register" value="REGISTER"> Please note that I used $_SERVER instead of PHP_SELF alone, and note the use of the single quotes. This is done when register_globals is turned off, which I have learned is the best way to write your scripts (thanks to the other guys & gals on this discussion board). 2. Using if (isset($submit)) { stuff......} is another thing i've been taught to do, rather than if($submit). 3. You haven't given a variable name to your submit button: <input type="submit" value="Enviar"></form> give the submit button a name="submit" and you will actually have a variable which your script can pick up. Otherwise nothing will happen.
