The script below works perfectly in Firefox and Safari but when I test it in IE 7 or 8 it does show my error codes nor all me to proceed.

<?
// Connect database.
//script removed

//Initialize variables
$username = $_POST['nusername'];
$password = $_POST['npassword'];
$dept = $_POST['ndept'];
$name = $_POST['nname'];
$empid = $_POST['nempid'];
$status = 'No';

$a = $_POST['verifyuser'];

$valid = 0;

// Check matching of username and password.
$result=mysql_query("select * from `accesso1_userdb`.`user` where `username`='".$_POST['nusername']."'");

$message = '';
if (array_key_exists('AddUser', $_POST)) {
if(mysql_num_rows($result)!='0'){ // Find match in database.
$message = '--- The Username ' . $username . ' Already Exist';
}
else if ($valid == 0){
$message = 'Make sure all required fields are filled in. <br />';
if (($username == NULL)¦¦($username == '')){
$message .= 'Enter a username <br />';
}
if (($password == NULL)¦¦($password == '')){
$message .= 'Enter a password <br />';
}
if (($name == NULL)¦¦($name == '')){
$message .= 'Enter the name of the user <br />';
}
if (($dept == '00')¦¦($dept == '')){
$message .= 'Select a department for the user <br />';
}
if ($username != NULL && $password != NULL && $name != NULL && $dept != '00')
{
$message = '';
$valid = 1;
}
}
}
if ( $a == "on" ) {
$asubmit = mysql_query("insert INTO `accesso1_userdb`.`user` values ('$username','$password','$dept','$name','$empid','$status')");
}
?>

I assume every parameter is the same, the only difference is the browser, just make sure you aren't doing anything different.

if you view source in IE what do you get?

Are the error messages displaying after clicking the "Next" button. That's the problem.

they don't in IE actually, so you more than likely have an html issue, not php

the first thing would be to add a value to your form action here

<form id="form1" name="form1" method="post" action="">

it's blank, meaning any browser is forced to assume what you meant, my guess is IE assumes you meant none where th others assume you meant self
