oops sorry, there is a submit, this is the whole source if you want it


<?php
echo "<h1></h1>";

$submit = $_POST['submit'];
//form data
$name = strip_tags($_POST['name']);
$username = strtolower(strip_tags($_POST['username']));
$password = strip_tags($_POST['password']);
$retypepassword = strip_tags($_POST['retypepassword']);
$date = date("Y-m-d");

if ($submit)
{

//open database
$connect = mysql_connect("localhost","root","");
mysql_select_db(phplogin); //select database

$namecheck = mysql_query("SELECT username FROM users WHERE username='$username'");
$co
