Registering

To register a user, we need to get his details via a form and enter him in the database.

When a user clicks on the “Not a member?” link on the login.php page, they will be taken to a

registration form produced by register_form.php. This script is shown in Listing 24.5.

LISTING 24.5 register_form.php—This Form Gives Users the Opportunity to Register with

PHPBookmarks

require_once(“bookmark_fns.php”);

do_html_header(“User Registration”);

display_registration_form();

do_html_footer();

Again, you can see that this page is fairly simple and just calls functions from the output

library in output_fns.php. The output of this script is shown in Figure 24.4.

The registration form retrieves the details we need for the database. We get users to type their passwords

twice, in case they make a mistake.
