registration form php only refresh phpMyAdmin
Question
I created a registration.php a login user.php an error.php and a server.php which errors validate and server connects my php form to database. login.php is working as is saying wrong id and/or password while registration form not working. When I click submit its just like refreshing and nothing its saved to database. Trying 3 days and can't figure why. maybe its my pc problem? I'm working with XAMPP and phpmyadmin and dreamweaver.
here is my register.php.
<?php include('server.php') ?>
<!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>Registration Form</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="forms.css">
</head>
<body>
<div class="header">
<h2>Register</h2>
</div>
<form method="post" action="register.php">
<?php include('errors.php'); ?>
<div class="input-group">
<label>Name:</label>
<input type="text" name="name">
</div>
<div class="input-group">
<label>Surname:</label>
<input type="text" name="surname">
</div>
<div class="input-group">
<label>Password:</label>
<input type="password" name="password_1">
</div>
<div class="input-group">

Problem is in your Query You take surname instead of username . Change Query From this
$query = "INSERT INTO users (name, surname, email, studentid, password, course)
VALUES(0,'$name','$surname', '$email', '$studentid' '$password', '$course')";
To this
$query = "INSERT INTO users (id, name, surname, email, studentid, password, course)
VALUES('$name','$username', '$email', '$studentid' '$password', '$course')";
And there are lots of spelling mistake in code. kindly fill relax and check all spelling.

you button name is different from the one in php
//previous code button clicked for register
if (isset($_POST['reg_user'])) {}
instead of
//button clicked for register
if (isset($_POST['register'])) {}
and also your query if your "id" an auto increment, leave it blank rather put 0, you can also do as follow
$query = "INSERT INTO users (name, surname, email, studentid, password,
course)VALUES('$name','$surname', '$email', '$studentid' '$password', '$course')";
