Send form to SQLdatabase ( 405 not allowed)

Question

So i have this web page:

<head>
  <meta charset="utf-8">
  <link rel="stylesheet" href="css/inputstyle.css">
  <title>Database Input</title>
</head>

<body>
    <h1> Database Input Page </h1>
    <p> Here you can input to the Database </p>
    <a href="View.html">View Database.</a>

    <form submit="submit.php" method="post">
        <p>First Name: <input type="text" name="firstname" /></p>
        <p>Surname: <input type="text" name="surname" /></p>
        <p>Age: <input type="text" name="age" /></p>
        <p><input type="submit" /></p>
    </form>
</body>

And this php script:

<?php

$username="root";
$password="password";
$database="posts";
$firstname=$_POST['firstname'];
$surname=$_POST['surname'];
$age=$_POST['age'];
mysql_connect(serverip,$username,$password);
@mysql_select_db($database) or die( "Unable to connect to Database");
$query = "INSERT INTO input  
VALUES('$firstname','$surname','$age')";mysql_query($query);mysql_close();

?>

In my mySQL database i have the database 'posts' and the table input . Withing the input table I only have 3 columns which in order are firstname , surname and age .

I need to get this working for a school project, but when I try and submit the form i get the error 405 Not Allowed . This is my first time using php and mySQL so im not sure if i've made any errors. Also all of my web files are located within /usr/share/nginx/html , although i do have a subfolder withing that for css.

Edit:

You have: ( submit )

<form submit="submit.php" method="post">
      ^^^^^^

change it to: ( action )

<form action="submit.php" method="post">

Original answer from OP's original question/code

POST variables are case-sensitive.

You have:

<input type="text" name="firstname" />
which is called using $firstname=$_POST['First Name'];
that is wrong for two reasons.
1. It's supposed to be $firstname=$_POST['firstname'];
2. Your present variable contains as space.

You also have:

<input type="text" name="surname" />
is called using $surname=$_POST['Surname'];

which should be $surname=$_POST['surname'];

Then

<input type="text" name="age" />
which is called by $age=$_POST['Age']; but should be $age=$_POST['age'];

This line I'm unsure of mysql_connect(serverip,$username,$password); serverip is undefined.

mysql_* functions deprecation notice:

This extension is deprecated as of PHP 5.5.0, and is not recommended for writing new code as it will be removed in the future. Instead, either the mysqli or PDO_MySQL extension should be used. See also the MySQL API Overview for further help while choosing a MySQL API.
