There is a lot of PHP4 that is the same as PHP5, but there's some that doesn't work. I suggest downloading PHP 4.3.9 or buying a PHP5 book.

There are only two stupid questions: the one you can't find the answer to and don't ask, and the one that you can find the answer and do ask.

That isn't true. I am using old PHP 4 programs with PHP 5 at work. You have to do more ini tweaking to use PHP 5 with PHP 4. But PHP 5 is backward compatible with PHP 4. Which PHP 4 book do you have?

Regards,
Rich

I copied the register.php program from Beginning PHP5. The form doen't seem to read the functions. when I hit submit the form clears, but the data is not inserted into the user table, but I get no errors. Is there a bug in the program?
