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. Also the windows appear when the page loads and not when clicked which is how its suppose to function. Appear when clicked, not when the page has loaded. Your help will be greatly appreciated . Thanks all
