Hi im am trying to allow users to be members in a website. The code I have does not look to have any bugs or anything. When i try to register as a user it keeps show me an error that i haven’t inserted the email address. The email field does exists in the database and i cannot find the problem.
PHP Script
$errorMsg = "";
// First we check to see if the form has been submitted
if (isset($_POST['username'])){
//Connect to the database through our include
include_once "connect_to_mysql.php";
// Filter the posted variables
$username = str_replace("[^A-Z a-z0-9]", "", $_POST['username']); // filter everything but numbers and letters
$country = str_replace("[^A-Z a-z0-9]", "", $_POST['country']); // filter everything but spaces, numbers, and letters
$county = str_replace("[^A-Z a-z0-9]", "", $_POST['county']); // filter everything but spaces, numbers, and letters
$city = str_replace("[^A-Z a-z0-9]", "", $_POST['city']); // filter everything but spaces, numbers, and letters
$accounttype = str_replace("[^a-z]", "", $_POST['accounttype']); // filter everything but lowercase letters
$email=str_replace( '/@/', '@', $email );
$email = stripslashes($_POST['email']);
$email = strip_tags($email);
$email = mysql_real_escape_string($email);
$password = str_replace("[^A-Z a-z0-9]", "", $_POST['password']); // filter everything but numbers and letters
// Check to see if the user filled all fields with
// the "Required"(*) symbol next to them in the join form
// and print out to them what they have forgotten to put in
if((!$username) || (!$country) || (!$county) || (!$city) || (!$accounttype) || (!$email) || (!$password)){
$errorMsg = "You did not submit the following required information!<br /><br />";
if(!$username){
$errorMsg .= "--- User Name";
} else if(!$country){
$errorMsg .= "--- Country";
} else if(!$county){
$errorMsg .= "--- State";
} else if(!$city){
$errorMsg .= "--- City";
} else if(!$accounttype){
$errorMsg .= "--- Account Type";
} else if(!$email){
$errorMsg .= "--- Email Address";
} else if(!$password){
$errorMsg .= "--- Password";
}
} else {
// Database duplicate Fields Check
$sql_username_check = mysql_query("SELECT id FROM members WHERE username='$username' LIMIT 1");
$sql_email_check = mysql_query("SELECT id FROM members WHERE email='$email' LIMIT 1");
$username_check = mysql_num_rows($sql_username_check);
$email_check = mysql_num_rows($sql_email_check);
if ($username_check > 0){
$errorMsg = "<u>ERROR:</u><br />Your User Name is already in use inside our system. Please try another.";

Error : You did not submit the following required information!
— Email Address
All the other fields seem to be working fine!! If anyone has any idea of what is causing the problem please tell me!! Thanks
I believe you need to first get post value, then play with it. So consider the order change as below:
Also a check in html file may work for further errors.
Hope this works.
