Create Simple Sign Up Form in PHP

Introduction

In this article I will describe how to design a simple sign up form for PHP. So in this article I will create two different applications, one for HTML design to provide the user view for sign up and the second one, that interacts with a MySQL database to save those values filled in by the new user. Now first I show you the simple design "sign up" form image.

In order to create a user account, we need to gather a minimal amount of information from the user, we need his name, his password, maybe email id (if desired). So in the given image I use a name (textbox) password (textbox), gender( Radio button) and keep signed up (check box) fields.

The following is the registration form design code:

<html>
<body>
<form action="login.php" method="post">
<fieldset>
<legend><h1>Sign Up Form</h1></legend>
<div style="background:#00FF33;>
<label for="name"><b>Name</b></label><br />
<input name="name" id="name" style="background-color:White; color:#0033CC; type="text" /><br />
<label for="password"><b>Password</b></label><br />
<input name="password" id="password"
type="password" /><br /><br />
<label>
<input type="radio" name="gender" value="male"/>
Male
</label><br />
<label>
<input type="radio" name="gender" value="female"/>
Female
</label><br /><br />
<input type="submit" value="Submit" /><br />
<label>

<input type="checkbox" name="notify">Keep me signed in on this computer</label><br />
</div>
</fieldset>
</form>
</body>
</html>

So we have a text field for name, password, radio button for gender and a checkbox for keeping signed in. When you have filled in all values of the sign up form, it simply interacts with "login.php" using <form action="login.php" method="post">.The login.php is basically created to interact with the MySQL database to save those values that are filled in by the user.
