<form action="register_new.php" method="post" enctype="text/plain"
name="register">
<fieldset><legend>Personal Details</legend>

Standard advice, strip code down to the shortest snippet that shows the
error.

Try debugging by making sure you get variables outside php in _some_ cases.
Easy code in other words.
Make page.php that you call with page.php?foo=bar
contets of said page:
<?php
var_dump($_GET);
var_dump($_POST);
var_dump($HTTP_GET_VARS);
var_dump($HTTP_POST_VARS);
var_dump($_REQUEST);
?>
['foo']=bar should appear at least in three arrays: request, get and
http_get_vars. If it doesn't, contact administrator.
Next add to said page.php the following code
<form method="POST">
<input type="submit" name="foo" value="bar">
</form>
Click the button bar. Again ['foo']=bar should appear at least in three
arrays: request, post and http_post_vars. If it doesn't, contact
administrator.

hi all,
don't you need () around the $_POST?
as in .. $user_name = ($_POST['user_name']);

No. Who ever gave you that idea?
