php form and mysql not inserting
Question
I'm having issues with getting data from my php form into my mysql database. I'm using mysqli by preparing the inputs, binding them and then executing.
I get no error when I submit the form. If I intentionally put an error into the prepare statement, such as mis-spelling "INERT INTO table..." then submit the form, an error does display. If I put an additional string or integer value into the bind_param, it doesn't error and if I put an additional variable or mis-spell a variable into the bind, it also doesn't error. I can't for the life of me figure out what's going wrong! I've counted the number of prepared values versus the number of bound values and variables and the count matches.
Below is the input form that is being executed when submitting the form:
<?php
//set database connection parameters
$hostname = 'localhost:3307'; // usually is localhost
$db_user = 'test'; // change to your database username
$db_password = 'test'; // change to your database password
$database = 'test'; // provide your database name
//database connection
$db = new mysqli($hostname, $db_user, $db_password, $database);
if(mysqli_connect_errno())
{
printf("Unable to connect to database: %s\n", mysqli_connect_error());
exit();
}
//Prepare prerequisites
$created = date("d-m-Y H:i:s");
$ip = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];

Take a look at what is being tested in the if statement.
You'll see that you are only checking to see if preparing the statement had an error. You don't check to see if the actual execution of the query.
You can add an additional if statement to the execution of the query to let you know if there is an issue.
and it only seems to be inserting the date and the ip address (first two variables) and nothing else
The issue you have with not seeing any of the other variables is because they aren't defined. Since you're submitting data from a form, you need to access them using $_POST or $_GET. Take a look at php's guide on external variables .
Also, if you update your main post with the new code and any new errors, we can help you narrow things down.
