If you forget something you can always use the Edit Post button ( ) to add anything as necessary.
Also, please remember use the [php]...[/php] tags when posting code.

Re: sorry it same proble php script
well, that won't work because you are calling mdir() instead of mkdir(). mdir() is not a function.
you should really, really, really consider putting some custom error checks in different places -- and you need to look at your web server's log files when an error occurs to see what's going on (if you have errors suppressed). these are simple problems; and we're not here to do everything for you. you should be learning as you go along, too. you still haven't learned to use the [php] tags ;)

Re: adding new user and create directory for each user
what is the purpose of having a file with all the usernames? Why not Use a database backend?
My usual boring signature: Something

Re: adding new user and create directory for each user
you have a string in the middle of no where. you need to use either echo or print. also, you shouldn't have that 'you successfully registered' string there. obviously, they aren't registered if they're getting an error message.
PHP Code:
}
else
{
'<p> Please try again</p>';
// print a meessage
print '<p> You are registered</p>';
}
you're defining a variable to a constant that doesn't exist.
PHP Code:
$dir = usersname;
you should be looking over your own code for these simple types of errors before posting.
edit: oh, and someone would use a text file when they don't have a database available, or need to create a file that can be imported or used by another program (that doesn't support databases). besides, text files are the oldest form of databases -- they're just horrendously slow for any practical applications.
