The best solution would be to get a CMS (content management system), since they already have all the functions you likely wanted to make. You have a selection of qite a few of them (ready to install) when you go to Fantastico at your cPanel. I would recommend Drupal, which is very light CMS and the most easly chagable one (you can quite easy make changes to it's coding and add new stuff yourself with a little knowledge). The next good one is Joomla, but for my taste it's too robust.

Can you show some of the script? (Lines 20 - 30 would be nice. :))

Code: 
<A href="mailto:$conn=@masql_connect("localhost">$conn=@masql_connect("localhost", "swirly", "friends")
                                                                          or die("Err:conn");
      #select the specified database
      $rs = @mysql_select_db("swirlys_user", $conn)
                                                             or die("Err:db")
      #create the query
      $sql="insert into swirlys_info (name, pass, bday, rname, email)
                              values ( $id, \"$pass\", \"$name\", \$email\", \$bday\" )";
               #execute the query

lines 20-30 thanks!

How are you outputting this? Is this in an echo, or.. What? It's weird.. Where are your PHP tags?

it appears your error is here

PHP: 
      $rs = @mysql_select_db("swirlys_user", $conn)
                                                             or die("Err:db")

should be

PHP: 
      $rs = @mysql_select_db("swirlys_user", $conn)
                                                             or die("Err:db");

Yea I know you only showed me those lines, but it's weird and doesn't make sense the way you have it. You can't just execute/have functions in an echo construct, and it doesn't look like your escaped the PHP tags..

well that was the wrong code i figured out...but now i got the right one...but its not working....its for people to add names and passwords etc..but its not submitting, and i copied it straight out of the book. did i just spell something. heres the code...
Code: 
<html>
<head>
<title>Add User</title></head>
<?php
if( (!$firstname) or (!$lastname)
                               or (!$username) or (!$password) )
{
$form ="Please enter all new user details...";
$form.="<for action=\"$PHP_SELF\"";
$form.=" method=\"post\">First Name: ";
$form.="<input type=\"text\" name\"firstname\"";
$form.="value=\"$firstname\"><br>Last Name: ";
$form.="<input type=\"text\" name\"lastname\"";
$form.="value=\"$lastname\"><br>User Name: ";
$form.="<input type=\"text\" name\"username\"";
$form.="value=\"$username\"><br>Password: ";
$form.="<input type=\"text\" name\"password\"";
$form.="value=\"$password\"><br>";
$form.="<input type=\"submit\" value=\"Submit\">";
$form.="</form>";
echo($form);
}
else
{ $conn = @mysql_connect("localhost", "swirlys", "friends")
or die("Could not connect to MYSQL");
$db = @mysql_select_db("swirlys_user", $conn)
or die("could not select database"); 
$sql = "insert into users
(first_name,last_name,user_name,password) values
(\"$firstname\",\"$lastname\",\"$username\",
                               password(\"$password\") )";
$result [EMAIL="=@mysql_query($sql,$conn"]=@mysql_query($sql,$conn[/EMAIL])
or die("Could not execute query");
if($result) {echo("New user $username added"); }
}
?></body</html>
