Insert/post the contents of a table data into a database

Question

please i need to insert the value of a table data into the database using a post submit but i dont seem to get it right... The code isn't complete, all i just need is for anyone to put me through the post submit data.

    <?php 
    if(isset($_POST['submit'])){
        $title        = $_POST[$product['title']];
        $slug         = $_POST[$product['slug']];
        $slug         = $_POST[$product['description']];
        $quantity     = $_POST[$product['quantity']];
        $subTotal     = $_POST[number_format($total, 2) ];
      }
    ?> 
   // i guess my post submit is wrong...

     <table class="table table-striped">
                    <tr>
                        <th colspan="7"><h3 class="text-center">Order details</h3></th>
                    </tr>
                    <tr  class="btn bg-success">
                        <th>Title</th>
                        <th>Slug</th>
                        <th>Description</th>
                    </tr>
                    <form method="post" action="cart.php">
                    <tr>
                        <td class="text-info" name="title"><?php echo $product['title']; ?></td>
                        <td class="text-info"><?php echo $product['slug']; ?> </td>
                        <td class="text-info"><?php echo $product['description']; ?> </td>

                            <input type="submit" name="submit" class="btn btn-success text-right" value="Checkout" onClick="return confirm('you will be redirected .....');" /> <!-- submit button -->

                </table>
All i need is to post to the database after clicking the submit button. Thank You.

Answer 1

To post data into database, you need to submit the form and convert the form variables into PHP variables.

In the form use a name for each field like

<input type="text" name="name" placeholder="Enter your name">

then, after form submission, collect the form data into php variables

$name = $_POST['name'];

Use this data in a mysql query to post into database.

$query = "INSERT INTO `table_name` (`slno`,`name`) VALUES ('1','".$name."'");
mysql_query($query);

Answer 2

You cannot post with out input tags. Make sure you have are submitting form from input elements. To get the posted values use the name for the input provided. Ex: $slug = $_POST['slug']; After getting the post values into variables insert them into database using mysql queries. I suggest you start from basics of insert query
