Form data is not submitting in MySql database

Question

I had a problem with submitting the data in MySql database, my code has no error, but when I check the database it seems like there is no submitting of data in the table

this is my php code

if(isset($_GET['date'])){
    $date = $_GET['date'];
}
if(isset($_POST['submit'])){
    $name = $_POST['name'];
    $email = $_POST['email'];
    $timeslot = $_POST['timeslot'];
    $mysqli = new mysqli('localhost', 'root', '*******', 'odpas');
    $stmt = $mysqli->prepare("INSERT INTO 'bookings' ('name', 'email', 'date', 'timeslot') VALUES (?,?,?,?)");
    $stmt->bind_param('ssss', $name, $email, $date, $timeslot);
    $stmt->execute();
    $msg = "<div>Booking Successfully</div>";
    $stmt->close();
    $mysqli->close();
}

here is the form

<form action="" method="post">
  <h4>Booking: <p id="slot"></p>
  </h4>

  <label> Name </label>
  <input required type="text" name="name">
  <label> Email </label>
  <input required type="email" name="email">
  <label> TIMESLOT </label>
  <input required type="text" readonly name="timeslot" id="timeslot">
  <button type="submit">
    SUBMIT
  </button>

</form>

the codes aren't separated, when I click the button "submit" it looks like it's working but when I check the database there's no submitting of data.

Thank you very much for your help!

Answer 1

if (isset($_GET['date'])){
    $date = $_GET['date'];
    // Every code of php should be between here.
}

Answer 2

Remember single quotes are for SQL strings and back-ticks are for database entities like columns or tables. You're using the wrong quotes here.

Here's the corrected version:

$stmt = $mysqli->prepare("INSERT INTO `bookings` (`name`, `email`, `date`, `timeslot`) VALUES (?,?,?,?)");

Note that unless you have a conflict with a MySQL reserved keyword you don't need the backticks. In this case only date is a conflict:

$stmt = $mysqli->prepare("INSERT INTO bookings (name, email, `date`, timeslot) VALUES (?,?,?,?)");

Answer 3

try this simple solution

<button type="submit" name="submit">
          SUBMIT
</button>

Answer 4

try this:

if(isset($_POST['submit'])){
    $name = $_POST['name'];
    $email = $_POST['email'];
    $timeslot = $_POST['timeslot'];
    $date=$_GET['date'];
    $mysqli = new mysqli('localhost', 'root', '*******', 'odpas');
    $stmt = "insert into bookings(name, email, data,timeslot) values('$name','$email','$date','$timeslot');";
    if($mysqli->query($stmt))
    {
       echo 'data saved successfully';
    }
} 

Answer 5

You forgot to give name submit button and checking for isset($_POST['submit']) that's why code inside if condition is not running.

if(isset($_GET['date'])){
    $date = $_GET['date'];
}

if(isset($_POST['submit'])){
   //print_r($_POST);
    $name = $_POST['name'];
    $email = $_POST['email'];
    $timeslot = $_POST['timeslot'];
    $mysqli = new mysqli('localhost', 'root', '*******', 'odpas');
    $stmt = $mysqli->prepare("INSERT INTO 'bookings' ('name', 'email', 'date', 'timeslot') VALUES (?,?,?,?)");
    $stmt->bind_param('ssss', $name, $email, $date, $timeslot);
    $stmt->execute();
    $msg = "<div>Booking Successfully</div>";
    $stmt->close();
    $mysqli->close();
}
 ?>
<form action="" method="post">
  <h4>Booking: <p id="slot"></p>
  </h4>

  <label> Name </label>
  <input required type="text" name="name">
  <label> Email </label>
  <input required type="email" name="email">
  <label> TIMESLOT </label>
  <input required type="text" readonly name="timeslot" id="timeslot">
  <button type="submit" name="submit">
    SUBMIT
  </button>

</form>
