JasonLewis Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 The undefined index is coming from the $_POST['username'] part, to be precise. This is because either 1) you have no submitted a form or 2) the username field in your form has an incorrect name. My suggestion is to ensure that you have a form, and that the name for the username field matches the key name in your $_POST array. You can do a print_r on $_POST to see if it's all being sent properly. print_r($_POST); Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkshad0w Posted May 16, 2011 Author Share Posted May 16, 2011 here is my current form this is where the "username" is being pulled from no? <html> <head> </head> <body> <form action="submit.php" method="post"><br/> <h1>Registration form</h1><br/> Username: <input type="text" name="username" /><br/> Password: <input type="password" name="password" /><br/> <input type="submit" value="submit" /> </form> </body> </html> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fugix Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 as project fear said above...this notice is being triggered because your form has not been submitted...what is the results that you receive when this script is ran? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
