Notice: Undefined variable: pass in C:\website\register.php on line 84
Your membership information has been mailed to your email address! Please check it and follow the directions!

when i press the JOIN NOW button.

Anyone help Thanks

It's not easy to come with an accurate answer without having seen the code, but it might be that register_globals is turned off on your server (that's good!). Try replacing $pass with $_POST['pass'].

I tried it but still had the problem here is my full code source

<?

include 'db.php';

// Define post fields into simple variables
$first_name = $_POST['first_name'];
$last_name = $_POST['last_name'];
$email_address = $_POST['email_address'];
$username = $_POST['username'];
$info = $_POST['info'];


$first_name = stripslashes($first_name);
$last_name = stripslashes($last_name);
$email_address = stripslashes($email_address);
$username = stripslashes($username);
$info = stripslashes($info);


if((!$first_name) || (!$last_name) || (!$email_address) || (!$username)){
echo 'You did not submit the following required information! <br />';
if(!$first_name){
echo "First Name is a required field. Please enter it below.<br />";
}
if(!$last_name){
echo "Last Name is a required field. Please enter it below.<br />";
}
if(!$email_address){
echo "Email Address is a required field. Please enter it below.<br />";
}
if(!$username){
echo "Desired Username is a required field. Please enter it below.<br />";
}
include 'join_form.html'; // Show the form again!
/* End the error checking and if everything is ok, we'll move on to
creating the user account */
exit(); // if the error checking has failed, we'll exit the script!
}


$sql_email_check = mysql_query("SELECT email_address FROM users WHERE email_address='$email_address'");
$sql_username_check = mysql_query("SELECT username FROM users WHERE username='$username'");

$email_check = mysql_num_rows($sql_email_check);
$username_check = mysql_num_rows($sql_username_check);

if(($email_check > 0) || ($username_check > 0)){
echo "Please fix the following errors: <br />";
if($email_check > 0){
echo "<strong>Your email address has already been used by another member in our database. Please submit a different Email address!<br />";
unset($email_address);
}
if($username_check > 0){
echo "The username you have selected has already been used by another member in our database. Please choose a different Username!<br />";
unset($username);
}
include 'join_form.html'; // Show the form again!
exit(); // exit the script so that we do not create this account!
}



function makeRandomPassword() {
$salt = "abchefghjkmnpqrstuvwxyz0123456789";
srand((double)microtime()*1000000);
$i = 0;
while ($i <= 7) {
$num = rand() % 33;
$tmp = substr($salt, $num, 1);
$pass = $pass . $tmp;
$i++;
}
return $pass;
}

$random_password = makeRandomPassword();

$db_password = md5($random_password);
// Enter info into the Database.
$info2 = htmlspecialchars($info);
$sql = mysql_query("INSERT INTO users (first_name, last_name, email_address, username, password, info, signup_date)
VALUES('$first_name', '$last_name', '$email_address', '$username', '$db_password', '$info2', now())") or die (mysql_error());

if(!$sql){
echo 'There has been an error creating your account. Please contact the webmaster.';
} else {
$userid = mysql_insert_id();
// Let's mail the user!
$subject = "Your Membership at MyWebsite!";
$message = "Dear $first_name $last_name,
Thank you for registering at our website, URL!

You are two steps away from logging in and accessing our exclusive members area.

To activate your membership, please click here: URL$userid&code=$db_password

Once you activate your memebership, you will be able to login with the following information:

mail($email_address, $subject, $message, "From: FuzionRadio Webmaster<dj.vanes@ntlbusiness.com>\nX-Mailer: PHP/" . phpversion());
echo 'Your membership information has been mailed to your email address! Please check it and follow the directions!';
