this is not working plz help me

Hi,
you just redirect to errors.php but you don't send data there. So in "get_user data" under code where you set variables add something like this:

$_SESSION['name'] = $name;
$_SESSION['username'] = $username;
$_SESSION['password'] = $password;
$_SESSION['rep_password'] = $rep_password;
$_SESSION['adress'] = $adress;
$_SESSION['num'] = $num;
$_SESSION['emal'] = $emal;

So now ur data will be stored in sessions.
Then you have to validate it so at the top of errors.php add something like this:

session_start(); 
$name  =  $_SESSION['name'];	
$username =  $_SESSION['username']; 	
$password =  $_SESSION['password']; 	
$rep_password = $_SESSION['rep_password']; 	
$adress = $_SESSION['adress'];		
$num =  $_SESSION['num'];			
$emal =  $_SESSION['emal'];

And then at the bottom destroy session:

session_destroy();
