def regestration(request):

if request.method == “POST”:

username = request.POST[‘username’]

first_name = request.POST[‘first_name’]

last_name = request.POST[‘last_name’]

password = request.POST[‘password’]

email = request.POST[’email’]

new_user = User.objects.create_user(username = username,first_name = first_name, last_name = last_name, password = password, email = email)

login (request, new_user)

subj = ‘Mention your email subject’
