Why won't PHP write to MySQL server? - php

Question

so I was making a website with a login system but my PHP will not import anything to MySQL.
Here is my code:
Registration:
<?php require_once './template/header.php'; ?>
<?
$reg = #$_POST['reg'];
//registration form
$fn = strip_tags(#$_POST['fname']);
$ln = strip_tags(#$_POST['lname']);
$un = strip_tags(#$_POST['username']);
$em = strip_tags(#$_POST['email']);
$em2 = strip_tags(#$_POST['email2']);
$pswd = strip_tags(#$_POST['password']);
$pswd2 = strip_tags(#$_POST['password2']);
$d = date("Y-m-d"); // Year - Month - Day
if ($reg) {
if ($em==$em2) {
// Check username
$u_check = mysql_query("SELECT username FROM users WHERE username='$un'");
$check = mysql_num_rows($u_check);
// Check email
$e_check = mysql_query("SELECT email FROM users WHERE email='$em'");
$email_check = mysql_num_rows($e_check);
if ($check == 0) {
if ($email_check == 0) {
// are rows filled in
if ($fn&&$ln&&$un&&$em&&$em2&&$pswd&&$pswd2) {
// passwords match?
if ($pswd==$pswd2) {
// how long are names
if (strlen($un)>25||strlen($fn)>25||strlen($ln)>25) {
echo "Your names are too long!";
}
else
{
// check the maximum length of password does not exceed 25 characters and is not less than 5 characters
if (strlen($pswd)>16||strlen($pswd)<6) {
echo "Passwords must be between 6 and 16 characters!";
}
else
{
//encrypt password
$pswd = md5($pswd);
$pswd2 = md5($pswd2);
$query = mysql_query("INSERT INTO users VALUES ('','$un','$fn','$ln','$em','$pswd','$d','0','Write something about yourself.','','','no')");
die("<h2>Welcome to our community!</h2>Login to your account to begin your journy...");
}
}
}
else {
echo "Your passwords don't match!";
}
}
else
{
echo "Please fill in all of the fields";
}
}
else
{
echo "Sorry, but it looks like someone has already used that email!";
}
}
else
{
echo "Username already taken ...";
}
}
else {
echo "Your E-mails don't match!";
}
}
?>
<div class="container" style="width:1000px; margin:0 auto; padding-top:25px;">
<div id="home">
<table>
<tr>
<td width="50%" valign="top">
<h2>Welcome back! Login here!</h2>
<input type="text" name="email" size="25" placeholder="E-Mail Address" /><br /><br />
<input type="password" name="pass" size="25" placeholder="Password" /><br /><br />
</td>
<td width="50%" valign="top">

<form action="#" method="post">
<input type="text" size="40" name="fname" class="auto-clear" title="First Name" placeholder="First Name" value="<? echo $fn; ?>"><p />
<input type="text" size="40" name="lname" class="auto-clear" title="Last Name" placeholder="Last Name" value="<? echo $ln; ?>"><p />
<input type="text" size="40" name="username" class="auto-clear" title="Username" placeholder="Username" value="<? echo $un; ?>"><p />
<input type="text" size="40" name="email" class="auto-clear" title="Email" placeholder="Email Address" value="<? echo $em; ?>"><p />

<input type="password" size="40" name="password2" value="Password ..."><p />
<input type="submit" name="reg" value="Sign Up!">
</form>
<!-- <select name="gender">
<option value="" disabled selected>Gender</option>
<option value="male">Male</option>
<option value="female">Female</option>
</select><br /><br /> -->
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</div>
</div>
<?php require_once './template/footer.php'; ?>
Connection:
<?php
mysql_connect("localhost","root","");
mysql_select_db("HBN") or die("Couldn't connect to database!")
?>
Thank you guys in advance!

You need to tell SQL what table columns to add the values to. So, instead of writing
"INSERT INTO users VALUES ('','$un','$fn','$ln','$em','$pswd','$d','0','Write something about yourself.','','','no')"
You want to write
"INSERT INTO users (col1,col2,col3,col4,col5...) VALUES ('','$un','$fn','$ln','$em','$pswd','$d','0','Write something about yourself.','','','no')"
