It looks like you have an invalid character as your string delimiter, you can see it clearly when the code is highlighted.

 

This is the problem:

include('connect.php’);

 

There are other problems, such as the variables names used here:

$conn = mysqli_connect($Shop, $root, $password);

oh thanks i missed that i dont know why anytime i edit a word in quotations it automatically changes the delimiter, but also i have a question for that line

 

$conn = mysqli_connect($Shop, $root, $password);

 

 

my database name is called shop, and the username is root and the password is a actual password but i put password so i dont reveal it, now do i actually change them to fit the description of the database or put $hostname, $username, $ password ?

 

does the "$" also need to be included?

[Ingolme 1,008]

The $ indicates a variable, which is explained in the W3Schools PHP tutorial. If you don't want a variable, then you can use a string:

$conn = mysqli_connect('shop', 'root', 'password');

What program are you using to edit your code? If it's converting your single-quotes to fancy quotes, then it's clearly not a coding environment you're working in.

ohhh okay well im using textedit i have a mac, i know i should use netbeans or something but idk i feel comfortable with textedit,

 

now also im getting an error for the connect php file

i updated my codes

[Ingolme 1,008]

Actually, the first parameter of the mysqli_connect() function is the name of the database server. It's often "localhost", but might be something else, for example "sql.webhost.com"

 

I suggest you read the whole PHP tutorial so you can understand the concepts more clearly.

[RaRa3 1]

should the line look like this?

$conn = localhost(‘Shop','root','password');

 

thanks im going to read about it now

does it mention about how sql works with php?

[Ingolme 1,008]

The tutorial does have a MySQL section, but you really need to learn the basics, because your current mistakes are with the core syntax of PHP.

 

localhost is not a function, it's a server name, so you would put it as the first parameter of the mysqli_connect function. Once you learn PHP you should know what "parameter" means and what a function is.

okay ill check it out, thank you!

Connected successfullyNotice: Undefined index: firstName in /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/htdocs/register.php on line 7please fill the empty field.

 

i fixed it and got connected successfully but i still dont see an error in that line..idk

An undefined index error means that you're trying to access an array element that doesn't exist. You can use isset to check if it exists before trying to access it.http://php.net/manual/en/function.isset.php

I would suggest learning about SQL injection. Otherwise, your site is very open to hacking.
