When I click the 'Sign Up' button, I want the page to be redirected to the server.php so it can run the validation (which is named reg_user).
But when the button is click, the page just refreshes to the same thing. None of the validation/error messages are shown.
Below is the code for my server.php where I have stated all the validations I want to happen:
<?php
session_start();
// initializing variables
$name = "";
$email = "";
$username = "";
$errors = array();
// connect to the database
$db = mysqli_connect('localhost', 'root', 'root', 'register');
// REGISTER USER
if (isset($_POST['reg_user'])) {
// receive all input values from the form
$name = mysqli_real_escape_string($db, $_POST['name']);
$email = mysqli_real_escape_string($db, $_POST['email']);
$username = mysqli_real_escape_string($db, $_POST['username']);
$password_1 = mysqli_real_escape_string($db, $_POST['password_1']);
$password_2 = mysqli_real_escape_string($db, $_POST['password_2']);
// form validation: ensure that the form is correctly filled ...
// by adding (array_push()) corresponding error unto $errors array
if (empty($name)) { array_push($errors, "Full name is required");
}
if (empty($email)) { array_push($errors, "Email is required");
}
if (empty($username)) { array_push($errors, "Username is required"); }
if (empty($password_1)) { array_push($errors, "Password is required"); }
if ($password_1 != $password_2) {
array_push($errors, "The two passwords do not match");
}
// first check the database to make sure
// a user does not already exist with the same username and/or email
$user_check_query = "SELECT * FROM users WHERE username='$username' OR email='$email' LIMIT 1";
$result = mysqli_query($db, $user_check_query);
$user = mysqli_fetch_assoc($result);
if ($user) { // if user exists
if ($user['username'] === $username) {
array_push($errors, "Username already exists");
}
if ($user['email'] === $email) {
array_push($errors, "email already exists");
}
}
// Finally, register user if there are no errors in the form
if (count($errors) == 0) {
$password = md5($password_1);//encrypt the password before saving in the database
$query = "INSERT INTO users (name, email, username, password)
VALUES('$name', '$email', '$username', '$password')";
mysqli_query($db, $query);
$_SESSION['username'] = $username;
$_SESSION['success'] = "You are now logged in";
header('location: index.php');
}
}
// ...
// ...
// LOGIN USER
if (isset($_POST['login_user'])) {
$username = mysqli_real_escape_string($db, $_POST['username']);
$password = mysqli_real_escape_string($db, $_POST['password']);
if (empty($username)) {
array_push($errors, "Username is required");
}
if (empty($password)) {
array_push($errors, "Password is required");
}
if (count($errors) == 0) {
$password = md5($password);
$query = "SELECT * FROM users WHERE username='$username' AND password='$password'";
$results = mysqli_query($db, $query);
if (mysqli_num_rows($results) == 1) {
$_SESSION['username'] = $username;
$_SESSION['success'] = "You are now logged in";
header('location: index.php');
}else {
array_push($errors, "Wrong username/password combination");
}
}
}
?>
And below is the html page to register a user:
<?php include('server.php') ?>

I am using mysql to create a database called 'register' that has a table called 'users' which has a name, username, email and password field.
Thanks in advance!
