Http 500 error with register page
-
Hi Could anyone help me with the following code? It was working fine until I inserted a username column in the DB table and edited this to suit (I thought) It gives an HTTP500 error page not working.
500 is a generic error from the server. You'll need to debug it or get the details of the error.

Thanks for replying ZurdoDev. :) I was thinking it had to be something in the prepared statement that I have done wrong but can't figure it out. I ran a query to create the table and columns so assume that must be correct?
Somewhere you should be able to get the details of the error. I don't do much php but if you aren't seeing the error when you run it then maybe look in the logs.

You've only specified types for two parameters, and you're missing a comma between the last two parameters:

I have played around starting again from the basic code and adding in what I need and checking for errors, all is fine till I put the code below in.
} // Validate email if(empty(trim($\_POST\["email"\]))){ $email\_err = "Please enter your email."; } elseif(strlen(trim($\_POST\["email"\])) < 6){ $email\_err = "email must have at least 6 characters."; } else{ $email = trim($\_POST\["email"\]); } -

if(empty(trim($_POST["email"]))){
If the email variable is blank then calling trim on it will fail. You should change it to:
if(empty($_POST["email"])){

Richard, is there an error log generated somewhere for the DB? I get an intermittent fault (loads of folk saying the can't register but I can see some are able to) This is the error that shows on the form so not of much use. lol "Something went wrong. Please try again later".

Sorry, I don't know offhand. Check the MySQL documentation. I see that you are posting that message in your code. So you need to check why the call to
mysqli_stmt_executefailed.Thanks Richard, I edited as you said the other night but wonder if my issue is somewhere in here?
if(empty($_POST["email"])){
$email_err = "Please enter your email.";
} elseif(strlen(trim($_POST["email"])) < 6){
$email_err = "email must have at least 6 characters.";
} else{
$email = trim($_POST["email"]);
}

There is no error as such, if you try to register with the same email twice (yes I thought that as well) it throws the error I mentioned but isn't telling them the email is already registered. It does for username but the email was the bit I added in. :-)

Did you not realise that you first need to check whether the email is already registered?
