So I decided to build login and register activities for my application. The database and server are up and running and the application connects to it perfectly. The only issue that I am running into is that one of the fields that I am posting to the database is showing as an integer instead of a string as intended. The following are the java, xml, and php files that I am working with:
RegisterActivity.java
import com.android.volley.Response;
import com.android.volley.toolbox.StringRequest;
import java.util.HashMap;
import java.util.Map;
public class RegisterRequest extends StringRequest {
private static final String REGISTER_REQUEST_URL = "http://codeblue.net16.net/Register.php";
private Map<String, String> params;
public RegisterRequest(String first_name, String last_name, String email, String password, Response.Listener<String> listener) {
super(Method.POST, REGISTER_REQUEST_URL, listener, null);
params = new HashMap<>();
params.put("first_name", first_name);
params.put("last_name", last_name);
params.put("email", email);
params.put("password", password);
}
@Override
public Map<String, String> getParams() {
return params;
}
}

final EditText editEmail = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.editEmail);
final EditText editPassword = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.editPassword);
final Button buttonRegister = (Button) findViewById(R.id.buttonRegister);
buttonRegister.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
@Override

final String password = editPassword.getText().toString();
Log.d("first_name", first_name);
Log.d("last_name", last_name);

Log.d("password", password);
Response.Listener<String> responseListener = new Response.Listener<String>() {
@Override
public void onResponse(String response) {
try {
//Log.d("JSON Parser", response);
JSONObject jsonResponse = new JSONObject(response);
boolean success = jsonResponse.getBoolean("success");
if (success) {
Context context = getApplicationContext();
CharSequence text = "Registration Successful";
int duration = Toast.LENGTH_SHORT;
Toast toast = Toast.makeText(context, text, duration);
toast.show();
Intent intent = new Intent(RegisterActivity.this, LoginActivity.class);
RegisterActivity.this.startActivity(intent);
} else {
AlertDialog.Builder builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(RegisterActivity.this);
builder.setMessage("Registration Failed")
.setNegativeButton("Retry", null)
.create()
.show();
}
} catch (JSONException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
};
RegisterRequest registerRequest = new RegisterRequest(first_name, last_name, email, password, responseListener);
RequestQueue queue = new Volley().newRequestQueue(RegisterActivity.this);
queue.add(registerRequest);
}
});
}
}

Now the issue that I am running into is that when the user inputs the "last_name" field as a string, in the database it will be entered as an integer and will show a 0. To test this theory I entered a number in the "last_name" field and that number showed up in the database. Every other field seems to be working as intended. I can't seem to find where the error is occuring. I have been searching for the past day and a half for the solution to this problem and I can't seem to find the error. Anyone have any ideas?
Per request, the following are pictures of the database:
