I use 000webhost and this first time when I use mysql databases online.
Solution 1:
You are mixing mysqli and mysql function.
If your are using mysql function then instead mysqli_real_escape_string($your_variable); use
$username = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['username']);
$pass = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['pass']);
$pass1 = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['pass1']);
$email = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['email']);
If your using mysqli_* function then you have to include your connection to database into mysqli_real_escape function :
$username = mysqli_real_escape_string($your_connection, $_POST['username']);
$pass = mysqli_real_escape_string($your_connection, $_POST['pass']);
$pass1 = mysqli_real_escape_string($your_connection, $_POST['pass1']);
$email = mysqli_real_escape_string($your_connection, $_POST['email']);
Note : Use mysqli_* function since mysql has been deprecated. For information please read mysqli_*
Solution 2:
From the documentation , the function mysqli_real_escape_string() has two parameters.
string mysqli_real_escape_string ( mysqli $link , string $escapestr ).
The first one is a link for a mysqli instance (database connection object), the second one is the string to escape. So your code should be like :
$username = mysqli_real_escape_string($yourconnectionobject,$_POST['username']);
