I am trying to insert user input into a database on submit. I am required to use POSTBACK method but i am having problems. When open the registration page under al the text boxes it is saying Notice: Undefined variable: firstname in I:\twa\twa291\assignment1\rego.php on line 147
Notice: Undefined variable: middlename in I:\twa\twa291\assignment1\rego.php on line 147
Notice: Undefined variable: lastname in I:\twa\twa291\assignment1\rego.php on line 147
Notice: Undefined variable: user in I:\twa\twa291\assignment1\rego.php on line 147
ETC ETC ETC....
Doesnt it have to wait for the user to input? Why is this happening? Here is my code:
