$lname=$_POST['lastname'];
$type=$_POST['type'];
$email=$_POST['email'];
$pwd=$_POST['password'];

$recoverykey=md5(time());
$encpwd=md5($pwd);
$con=mysql_connect($dbserver,$dbusername,$dbpassword);
if (!$con) { die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error()); }
mysql_select_db($dbname, $con);

$check= mysql_query("SELECT FROM accounts WHERE (email='".$email."')");
$result = mysql_num_rows($check);
if($result !== 0)
{
echo header("Location:manage-users.php?status=3");
}
else
{

  $sql=("INSERT INTO accounts VALUES (NULL,'".$email."','".$encpwd."','".$fname."','".$lname."','".$type."','".$recoverykey."','".$image."','".$intro."','".$qualification."')");
  if (!mysql_query($sql,$con))
  {
  die('Error: ' . mysql_error());
  }
  else {

  header("Location:manage-users.php?status=1");
}
}


mysql_close($con);
?>

any kind of help will be appreciated :)

$check= mysql_query("SELECT FROM accounts WHERE (email='".$email."')");
Select what from accounts? ALL, Id etc? I guess error checking the query would have given an error.
