mysql_select_db("user") or
dir ("Could not select database");

if ($_POST['submit'] == "Register")

I think after the line below,
> if ($_POST['submit'] == "Register")
you should get the inputs into $username and $password variables from
post array as follows:
$username = $_POST['whatevertheinputfieldname'];
$password = $_POST['whatevertheinputfieldname'];
