		$server = "localhost";
		$user = "root";
		$pass = "";
		$database = "codescracker";
		$conn = mysqli_connect($server, $user, $pass, $database);
		if(mysqli_connect_error())
		{
			echo "<p>Error occurred..kindly try again later.</p>";
			echo "<p>Exiting...</p>";
			exit();
		}
		$errUser = $errPass = $errEmail = $errName = $errSex = $errDOB = "";
		$user = $pass = $email = $name = $sex = $dob = "";
		$user = $_POST["username"];

php mysqli complete signup page example

This alert message is shown because we have inserted the JavaScript code into the above example just to fetch all the input box before submit the form to check whether all the input field is filled or not.

Now enter the username as codescracker and then enter all the detail as you want, but enter the username as codescracker. This username is already created using the above simple example of signup page using PHP and MySQLi.

Now after entering the already existed username along with some other details, then here is the output you will see in your web browser when pressing the SignUp button.
