Menu
My $_POST is receiving the username and password but not any of the other terms that I have. The names all match what I have in my table, I must be missing something..First is my HTML file with the form data and second is the php file which should be storing the values in my user_info table.
<HTML>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="testcss.css" type="text/css">
<body>
<div id="header">
<h1>Register</h1>
</div>
<div id="formtext">
<form name="register" action="register.php" method="post">
First Name: <input type:"text" name"firstName"><br>
Last Name: <input type"text" name"lastName"><br>
Email: <input type:"text" name"email"><br>
Desired Username: <input type="text" name="username"><br>
Password: <input type="text" name="password"><br>
<input type="submit" name="Submit">
</div>
</body>
</HTML>
Here is the php file...
<?php
mysql_connect('localhost', 'root', 'root') or die(mysql_error());
mysql_select_db("myDatabase") or die(mysql_error());
$firstName = $_POST["firstName"];
$lastName = $_POST["lastName"];
$email = $_POST["email"];
$username = $_POST["username"];
$password = $_POST["password"];
mysql_query("INSERT INTO user_info(firstName, lastName, email, username, password) VALUES ('$firstName', '$lastName', '$email', '$username', '$password')");
header( 'Location: loaclhost:8888/userHome.html' ) ;
?>

Your HTML attributes aren't formatted correctly.
All attributes should be in the format attribute="value"
The two working ones are formatted correctly, while the others are not.
For example, <input type:"text" name"email"> is wrong. It should be <input type="text" name="email" />
They should be like this:
First Name: <input type="text" name="firstName"><br>
Last Name: <input type="text" name="lastName"><br>
Email: <input type="text" name="email"><br>
Desired Username: <input type="text" name="username"><br>
Password: <input type="text" name="password"><br>
<input type="submit" name="Submit">
If you aren't already using one, I would suggest you get a code editor that has syntax highlighting or autocomplete. Notepad++, Netbeans or Visual Studio can all colour your code and make it much easier to find mistakes.
You also have what is probably an error in your PHP: header( 'Location: loaclhost:8888/userHome.html' ) ; - I have a feeling that you were probably meaning to type "localhost" there ;-)

Your markup has a couple of errors:
<input type:"text" name="" />
<input type"text" name="" />
should be
<input type="text" name="" />
