PHP JavaScript register form help

I have a sign up form and I am struggling on how to best implement it due to AJAX and fallbacks.

I want to use AJAX to tell a user if the username or email they are trying to use is available. I also want to use AJAX to send the form data to a sign up script and then return either a error message or success message,

The problem I have is im not sure how this will all work if someone doesn't have JavaScript enabled and what happens if they don't.

create a non-ajax solution so that on submit it goes to a processing page which sends it back to the form in case of errors

then create an ajax solution that intercept the submit events and does it using ajax.

this way your problem is solved.
