Not giving *any* error?  This sounds like PHP 4.0.6, or lower, which
cannot read $_POST() arrays.  Check your version of PHP - you'll need to
have version 4.1.0, or better.

The password should be md5 encrypted in the database - and not plain
text.  The values should look like this:

COLUMN ( id, name, fullname, password, email, admin, deleted )
VALUES ( 1, 'admin', 'Administrator',
'0192023a7bbd73250516f069df18b500', 'please_edit@my_domain.com', 't',
'f' )
