Answer 1

If I understand it correctly, you want to know why you get None when you use the get() method on a dictionary/request.

This is because the requested key does not exist and you did not specify any default value for the get() that should be used if the key does not exist. In that case None is returned.

This is also explained in detail in this post.

Answer 2

Because you don't have input value in your html. So all the values are None .

Change your html from

<tr>
   <td>Full Name: </td>
   <td name="full_name">Shiva Giri<td>
</tr>

To

    <tr>
       <td>Full Name: </td>
       <td><input type="text" name="full_name" value="Shiva Giri"><td>
    </tr>

And so on for all other remaining values.

Answer 3

request.POST.get() gets values from <input> and <select> tags not from table tags.

You can try with hidden inputs like this: <input type="hidden" id="table_num" name="table_num" value="DC 8">

You will need to do this for all the information you want to send into the backend. Do not forget to add id="" and name="" to all inputs/select tags
