<?php

function protect($string){
$string = mysql_real_escape_string($string);
$string = strip_tags($string);
$string = addslashes($string);

return $string;
}

function connect(){
$con = mysql_connect('127.0.0.1','root', '') or die(mysql_error());
$db = mysql_select_db("users",$con);
}

?> // this is for the protect function and connection

//i have a problem on "submit" line 6

<?php
include_once "functions.php";

connect();

if(!$_POST['submit']){ //line 6
echo "<table border=>
<form id=\"form1\" name=\"form1\" method=\"post\" action=\"register.php\">
<table width=\"355\" height=\"240\" border=\"1\">

}else {
$username = protect($_POST['username']);
$password = protect($_POST['password']);
$confirm = protect($_POST['password']);
$email = protect($_POST['email']);
$name = protect($_POST['name']);

}


if ($name){
$range2 = range(3,64);
if(!in_array(strlen($name),$range2)){
$errors[] = "Your name must be between 3 and 64 characters!";
}
}

if($username){
$sql = "SELECT * FROM 'users' WHERE 'username' = '($username)'";
$res = mysql_query($sql) or die(mysql_error());

if(mysql_num_rows($res)>0){
$errors[] = "The username you supplied is already in use!";
}
}

if($email){
$sql2 = "SELECT = FROM 'users' WHERE 'email' = '($email)'";
$res2 = mysql_query($sql2) or die(mysql_error());

if(mysql_num_rows($res2) > 0){
$errors[] = "The e-mail address you supplied is already in use of another user!";
}
}
if(count($errors)>0){
foreach($errors AS $error){
echo $error . "<br>\n";
}
}
else{
$pw = md5($password);
$sql3 = "INSERT INTO users
('username','password','email','name','address','c ontact')
VALUES ('$username','".md5($password)."','$email','$name' ,'$address','$contact')";
$res3 = mysql_query($sql4) or die(mysql_error());
echo "You have successfully registered with the username <b>($username)</b> and the password of <b>($password)</b>";
}


}
?>

Instead of using:

if(!$username)

or
if(!$_POST['submit'])

use:

if(empty($username))

and

if(!isset($_POST['submit']))

You will have to change all of the if(!$password) to what i said above for it to all work properly.

thank you guys i got it. below is is correct code

<?php
include "conn.php";
//if($_SERVER["REQUEST_METHOD"]=="POST"){
if (isset($_POST['uname']))
{
$username=filter_input(INPUT_POST,'uname',FILTER_SANITIZE_SPECIAL_CHARS);

$sql = "SELECT  * FROM regtab11 WHERE user_name='$username'";
$result = $conn->query($sql);

if ($result->num_rows > 0) {
  echo "user already exists" ;

    }
    else{
        $sql1="INSERT INTO regtab11(user_name) VALUES('$username')";
        $result1=$conn->query($sql1);
    echo "data has saved";

  }
}
