无法使用cURL插入数据库

Question

I am not receiving any errors when trying to insert data in the database. But it at the same time there is nothing being entered.

I watched a video that has the same example. I tried a different statement for creating the Mysqli object and still do not work.

//This part of the code is in another php file
<?php
    $data = array("name"=>"patrick", "age"=>"25");
    $string = http_build_query($data);
    $ch = curl_init("http://localhost//data.php");
    curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_POST,true);
    curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS,$string);
    curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER,true);
    curl_exec($ch);
    curl_close($ch);
?>

//This part of the code is in the data.php
<?php
    if(isset($_POST['name'], $_POST['age']))
    {
      //$db = mysqli_connect("localhost","root","password","testPost");
        $db = new Mysqli("localhost","root","password","testPost");
        $name = $db->real_escape_string($_POST['name']);
        $age = (int)$_POST['age'];
        $query = "INSERT INTO data SET myData = '$name, $age'";
        $db->query($query);
    }
?>

I expect data to be inserted in a database. The database is called testPost and it has two columns called id and myData
