are empty -- It should show an error , it shold check if user name is
there in the data base or not...if yes show error message otherwise
insert into database.
I am getting error if any can help me figure what i am doing wrong

if ( ( isset( $_POST['submit'] ) && $_POST['submit'] ) ==
"register" ); {
if ( $_POST['username'] != "" && $_POST['password'] != "" &&
$_POST['first_name'] != "" && $_POST['last_name'] != "" &&
$_POST['email'] != "" ) {
$query = "SELECT username from user_info WHERE username = " .
$_POST['username'] . " ;";
$result = mysql_query( $query ) or die( mysql_error() );

if ( mysql_num_rows != 0 ) {
echo $_POST['username'] . "already in use";

?>
<form action="registe r.php" method="POST">
<?php
form_display(); -- a function to display text box for
username , password m first name,last name , city ,state

?>
<?php
} else {
$query = "INSERT INTO user_info
(username,passw ord,email,first _name,last_name ,city,state) " . "VALUES
('" . $_POST['username'] . "' ,' " . $_POST['password'] . "','" .
$_POST['email'] . "' , ' " . $_POST['first_name'] . "',' " .
$_POST['last_name'] . "

$result = mysql_query( $query ) or die( mysql_error() );
$_SESSION['user_logged'] = $_POST['username'];
$_SESSION['user_password'] = $_POST['user_password'];
?>

Should be
if ( ( isset( $_POST['submit'] ) && $_POST['submit'] ) == "register" ){
Without the ';'

You could also try to clean up your code. Seperate the logic from the
layout for example or create a few funtions. A verry simple one would be:

function CheckEmptyPostF ields(array('us ername','pass', 'etc'));
$aEmptyFields = array;

foreach($aArray as $sField){

if(empty($_POST[$sField])){
array_push($aEm ptyFields,$sFie ld);
}

}
return $aEmptyField;
}


$aEmptyFields = CheckEmptyPostF ields(array('us ername','pass', 'etc'));

"I am getting error if any can help me figure what i am doing wrong" is
not very descriptive. What error are you getting?

One thing I do see right off hand -

if ( ( isset( $_POST['submit'] ) && $_POST['submit'] ) == "register" ); {

There should NOT be a semicolon at the end of this.
