Hello Jacek,

I am following your User Account System Youtube tutorials and I am stuck when I am trying to complete Part 04.

Whenever I run my register.php file, I get an error in Firefox that says: "The character encoding of the HTML document was not declared..."

Now I've come to realize that when I have my PHP code before the HTML code, I get this error. If I remove the PHP code, my page appears. Do you have any suggestions on how I can get my page displayed but also have the PHP code there?

My code is:

<? php

include('core/init.inc.php');
$errors = array();

if(isset($_POST['fullname'], $_POST['email'])){

     if(empty($_POST['fullname'])){
          $errors[] = 'The full name field cannot be empty.';
     }

      if(empty($_POST['email'])){
          $errors[] = 'The email field cannot be empty.';
     }

    if(user_exists($_POST['email'])){
          $errors[] = 'The email you entered is already taken.';
     }
     if (empty($errors)){
          add_user($_POST['fullname'], $_POST['email']);
          $_SESSION['fullname'] = htmlentities($_POST['fullname']);
          header('Location: index.php');
         die();
     }
}

?>
