I have a user registration form that asks new users to register. However, Do I post the MySQLconnection string in the page they are completing or in the later page that the data is posted to, or both...?
You ought to tell your registration-page to redirect to itself right after the visitor hit the submit-button of your form.
This should to the trick:
[code]
<form name="form" action="<?php print $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>" method="post">
[/code]
Therefore your script will have to check if something has been posted.
[code]
if (!empty($_POST) && isset($_POST['button_name'])) {
// perform validation, insert record into database, etc
}
[/code].. might do, while 'button_name' is the name of your form's submit-button.
Note: You should checkout the thread 'Form Submission' started on July 6th since this is appearently not the best way to check if the user hit the submit-button.
