Having problem passing data to MySQL DB through a PHP form page

Question

12 Years Ago

Hi all,

I have a registration page which allows the user to open up separate windows to include additional information. But for some reason it freezes the page and doesn’t allow data to be submitted into the MySQL database table. I’m mot sure whether this is a php or a JavaScript problem could be both . I have included code samples so you could all get a better understanding of the problem. Your help will be greatly appreciated . Thanks all
