Assuming $submit even has a value (Are you sure you don't mean $_POST['something'] here?) all your code does is test 2 variables, connect to the server, change to a database and set some more few variables. When do you plan to execute a query "mysql_query($sql)", or output a print or echo of some text or HTML? "or die" doesn't output anything because $submit is probably false. Your page should be blank and nothing should go to the database with this code.
