Help with PHP form

You didn't include the underlying form that posts to this page, but I would suspect a problem in the form.  Verify that the fields for sport and shoe are named appropriately.  Ie.

Sport: <input type="text" name="sport" /><br />
Shoe: <input type="text" name="shoe" />

Here's the markup for the form

<!-- Contact Form Start //-->
                                      <form action="#" id="contactform"> 
                                      <fieldset>
                                      <label>Name*</label>
                                      <input type="text" name="name" class="textfield" id="name" value="Please enter both given and surnames" />
                                      <div class="clear"></div>
                                      <label>E-mail*</label>
                                      <input type="text" name="email" class="textfield" id="email" value="Please enter a valid email address" />
                                      <div class="clear"></div> 
                                      <label>Prefered Sport*</label>

                                      <div class="clear"></div> 
                                      <label>Shoe Size*</label>

                                      <label>Message*</label>
                                      <textarea name="message" id="message" class="textarea" cols="2" rows="7" </textarea>
                                      <div class="clear"></div> 
                                                                      <input type="submit" name="submit" class="buttoncontact" id="buttonsend" value="Send" />

You named both the sports and the shoe fields "subject" that's why nothing is posted for those two fields.

+++++
<input type="text" name="subject" class="textfield" id="sport" value="Enter your Favourite Sport here" />
                                      <div class="clear"></div>
                                      <label>Shoe Size*</label>
                                      <input type="text" name="subject" class="textfield" id="shoe" value="Please indicate Men's or Women's sizing" />
                                      <div class="clear"></div>  
+++++

Just change above code with following code:

++++
<input type="text" name="sport" class="textfield" id="sport" value="Enter your Favourite Sport here" />
                                      <div class="clear"></div>
                                      <label>Shoe Size*</label>
                                      <input type="text" name="shoe" class="textfield" id="shoe" value="Please indicate Men's or Women's sizing" />
                                      <div class="clear"></div>  
++++

It should then work. You have given name="subject" for both id="sport" and id="shoe". When form is submitted in php _POST array is build on name attribute. If name is not properly given then it will not be there in _POST array.

Any reply from the asker?

Hey Leroice:     Did you change your form to what we said and try it? Please let us know so we can all move on and get this question PAQ'ed

Sorry guys haven't been online for past few days. Will have a try and let you know soon.

Thanks again for the help. It is much appreciated

I think the rest helped you with this one.. but a general tip..

use

print_r($_REQUEST);

to see all submitted variables to test....

try to write like this
if(isset($_post['submit']))
{
$comapny_name=$_POST['company_name'];//like this all  fields create
$sql="insert into tbl_users (company_name, first_name, last_name, business_street_address, business_suburb_city, business_postcode, email, phone, mobile, industry_id , username,password) values('$company_name', '$first_name', '$last_name', '$business_street_address', '$business_suburb_city', '$business_postcode', '$email', '$phone', '$mobile', '$industry', '$username','$password')";
mysql_query($sql);
header('location:samepage.php')
exit;
