  <p>The signupaction.php script is as follows</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;?php
  
  //importing db.php in the includes folder
  require("includes/db.php");
  
  
  $fname=$_POST["firstname"];
  $lname=$_POST["lastname"];
  $email=$_POST["emailaddress"];
  $address=$_POST["address"];
  $contact=$_POST["contactno"];
  
  
  $password=$_POST["password"];
  $cpassword=$_POST["cpassword"];
  
  
  
  $sql="INSERT INTO signup (FName,LName,Address,Contact,Email,Password,CPassword) VALUES ('$fname','$lname','$address','$contact','$email','$password',$cpassword')";
  
  
  
  $result=mysqli_query($db,$sql);
  
  if(!$result){
      echo "Unsuccessful signup";
  }
  else{
      echo "Successful signup";
  }
  
  
  
  
  ?&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Please help me to correct this! When i click the submit button there is no change in the URL so i think the pproblem is in the signupform</p>
