 <?php
require_once "dbcred.php";
$dbh = testdb_connect ();

/* Obliterate bad input */
$badpasses = $_POST['regpass'];
$salt = '~`!@#$%^&*()_-+=}]{[\|"><';
$secPass = md5($badpasses.$salt);

$newStudent = $dbh->exec ("INSERT INTO Student (uname, pass, fname, lname, email, currGrade)                VALUES('$_POST[reguser]',$secPass,'$_POST[regfirst]','$_POST[reglast]','$_POST[regemail]','$_POST[regclassrank]')");

Why is this not submitting to my mysql database anymore? The code below WAS submitting..

 <?php
require_once "dbcred.php";
$dbh = testdb_connect ();

/* Obliterate bad input */


$newStudent = $dbh->exec ("INSERT INTO Student (uname, pass, fname, lname, email, currGrade)                VALUES('$_POST[reguser]','$_POST[regpass]','$_POST[regfirst]','$_POST[reglast]','$_POST[regemail]','$_POST[regclassrank]')");

echo "Thanks for signing up!";

?>

    $newStudent = $dbh->exec ("INSERT INTO Student (uname, pass, fname, lname, email, currGrade)                VALUES('$_POST[reguser]',$secPass,'$_POST[regfirst]','$_POST[reglast]','$_POST[regemail]','$_POST[regclassrank]')");

    You forgot the quotes around $secPass.
    Try this code:

    $newStudent = $dbh->exec ("INSERT INTO Student (uname, pass, fname, lname, email, currGrade)                VALUES('$_POST[reguser]','$secPass','$_POST[regfirst]','$_POST[reglast]','$_POST[regemail]','$_POST[regclassrank]')");
