Nice, maybe you'll find this useful for signup.php ;)

    if (!preg_match('/^[a-z]{1,1}[\w\p{Zs}]+$/iD', $_POST['user_name'])) {
        $errors[] = 'The username must start with a letter.';
    }

yaa i know it @riderz

i coded it 5 months before and my coding is not so good at that time
thats why this is in beta version :d

So why should I use it if your coding wasn't that good? Just saying. I appreciate that you shared, that's very good but if you're not confident of your PHP then don't make it open-source, lest we see your vulnerabilities more. My advice, organize your coding better, and restructure it so at least some other developer might not be too discouraged to code on top of it... I Was.

Well in general i must agree with riderz an CreativityKills so here is some practical for editprofile.php for example to keep you busy with it.

Validate url no matter is there http or not:

function isValidURL($url)
{
return preg_match('/^(http:\/\/)?[a-z0-9-\.]+\.[a-z]{2,4}(\/.*)?$/iD', $url);
} 

... than check is it there right where is needs to be and if not add it:

    if(isValidURL($_POST['avatar']))
    {
    if (strpos($_POST['avatar'], 'http://') !== 0) {
        $_POST['avatar'] = 'http://'.$_POST['avatar'];
    } else {
        $_POST['avatar'] = $_POST['avatar'];
    }
    } else {
        $errors[] = " Please enter valid avatar URL<br>";
    } 

... so you can get ridof that extra page just because http.

Next is this:

if(isset($_POST['name'])) // ...
    // and than
else
    {
        $errors[] = 'The name field must not be empty.';
    } 

The thing is that isset will return true even on empty field.

var_dump(isset($_POST['name'])); // bool(true) ! 

Change it to:

var_dump(!empty($_POST['name'])); // bool(false) :) 

Should check in whole script and explore in general how to apply with globals.
At 87. line there is typing error, $_POST['name'] instead $_POST['avatar'].

If is gonna be some V2 post it.

thanks for the suggestions guys

i already told that it is an old script by me
i shared it bcz i not need it and someone may use it or get any idea from it

now am thinking to work on its v2 that will be far better than this
i will share it when it will be completed
and i promise that it will not give problem to anyone who use it
