mysql_select_db (secretDB); 

$result = mysql_query ("INSERT INTO users (id, real_name, username, password, email) 
                VALUES ('$ID', '$real_name', '$username', '$userpass',

line 14 :

Code:

What language?

Just from a wild wild guess base on common languages I would say replace the , by +

The string concatenation character in PHP is the dot.

So try: echo '<b>User not added:</b>'.mysql_error();

Hmm, thinking about it, that might not work. Try a two liner:

$errmsg=mysql_error();
echo "<b>User not added:</b>$errmsg"
