How to create a trigger to insert new users details to another table?

Question

Im trying to "synchronize" an external forum script (SMF) with my website. Thats means, when a user registers in my website, a trigger insert the user details (username, password and email) in the external forum members table. Something like that, but its wrong, sql error.

CREATE TRIGGER forumReg 
AFTER INSERT ON hotaru_users 
FOR EACH ROW
BEGIN
    INSERT INTO forum_members (member_name, email_address, passwd)
    VALUES (NEW.user_username, NEW.user_email, NEW.user_password);
END

hotaru_users is my website users table, forum_members is the external forum users table, both tables are in the same mysql database

the error

Erro

consulta SQL:

CREATE TRIGGER forumReg AFTER INSERT ON hotaru_users
FOR EACH
ROW
BEGIN
INSERT INTO forum_members( member_name, email_address, passwd )
VALUES (
NEW.user_username, NEW.user_email, NEW.user_password
);

Either remove the BEGIN , END :

CREATE TRIGGER forumReg 
AFTER INSERT ON hotaru_users 
FOR EACH ROW
    INSERT INTO forum_members (member_name, email_address, passwd)
    VALUES (NEW.user_username, NEW.user_email, NEW.user_password);

or change the delimiter for the creation of the trigger:

DELIMITER $$
CREATE TRIGGER forumReg 
AFTER INSERT ON hotaru_users 
FOR EACH ROW
BEGIN
    INSERT INTO forum_members (member_name, email_address, passwd)
    VALUES (NEW.user_username, NEW.user_email, NEW.user_password);
END 
$$
DELIMITER ;
