lol i know but my php is horrible...i tried learning of of w3schools for a little more than a week and im trying to make a text based game and its not working out well because i havent made the registration script yet..i tried tuts and they work good on registration scripts but im trying to make one where you have 2 passwords and they have to be different and you have to enter your email address and you have to make  a user name also and i dont know what to do...the code on top is the code i have so far that puts the data submitted into the table..
