[MatrixIS]

///////////////////////////////////Registration Add User
$check = mysql_query("SELECT from xtwf_users where uname='".$user."'");
else if($action=="newuser")
{
if($pass=='')
{
echo "Error! You have typed no password";
}else if ($user=="$check")
{
echo "The username is taken";
}else{

mysql_query("INSERT INTO xtwf_users SET id='' , uname='".$user."' , password='".$pass."' , site='".$site."' , email='".$email."' , name='".$name."'");
echo "You have successfully signed up";

}else{ what?

[MatrixIS]

thats the last else which leads to the main page , the syntax error says this line

else if($action=="newuser")

but i think its this line
$check = mysql_query("SELECT from xtwf_users where uname='".$user."'");

[something else]

what does the error say ? ..... unexpected else ....... or expecting }?
if so change it to
}else if($action=="newuser")

have a look at the function above that. i usually get same error when adding new stuff and its the stuff i added that is above that is the conflict.
