You only have "username" and "email" in your form, so I would remove the
others. Your form uses the method POST so that is all you need in the
page your form submits to.
If you look up the warning messages you get (they are warnings) they
will tell you that they are warning you that you have used the variable,
e.g. in
echo $_POST['username'];
before assigning a value. Either assign a value or test for it first,
then you do not receive the warning. You could change the error level in
php.ini alternatively if you wanted to. So changing the above line to:
if (isset($_POST['username']))
{
echo $_POST['username'];
}
should avoid the warning.
As to your CGI error issue, it sounds as though you are using PHP as a
CGI with IIS. I do not use this combination so I cannot help on that
one. I know this is a known error message but I have not been able to
find out about it, now I want to.
