The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

The Grade of the Solution
The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
The Number of Author and Expert Comments
The Number of Experts Contributing
The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Creating a working registration form with PHP

Asked by gabrielPennyback in PHP and Databases, MySQL Server, Adobe Dreamweaver

Tags: PHP

Please take a look at this page and let me know how to turn it into a real functioning registration form: http://www.discretedata.com/PHP/Registration.php
I have a database on my server, and I've attached the code for the page. Hopefully that will give you enough information to tell me what I need to know. I'm including Dreamweaver as a zone in case there are ways to do this automatically within Dreamweaver.

Thanks,

John

By the way, if you can tell me a better way for me to get the look I want for the form fields, let me know. The submit button in particular doesn't seem to want to be in its own div.
