This question already has an answer here:
I've been working on this for hours now and including rebuilding my whole code I cannot figure out what is wrong. The HTML form is supposed to populate the patients SQL database but it is not working. I have a similar form that I am using on another part of the website that works flawlessly but this on doesn't seem to and a can't figure out why.
I have checked if the $_POST 's are coming through and they are but the $message values are not.
thanks for your help Here is a picture of the database fields: database fields
Heres the code:
<?php
require 'connection.php';
$message = '';
if(!empty($_POST['name']) && !empty($_POST['dob']) && !empty($_POST['nok']) && !empty($_POST['nok_add']) && !empty($_POST['nok_phone'])&& !empty($_POST['doa'])&& !empty($_POST['allergies'])):
// Enter the new user in the database
$sql = "INSERT INTO patients (name, dob, nok, nok_add, nok_phone, doa, allergies) VALUES (:name, :dob, :nok, :nok_add, :nok_phone, :doa, :allergies)";
$stmt = $conn->prepare($sql);
$stmt->bindParam(':name', $_POST['name']);
$stmt->bindParam(':dob', $_POST['dob']);
$stmt->bindParam(':nok', $_POST['nok']);
$stmt->bindParam(':nok_add', $_POST['nok_add']);
$stmt->bindParam(':nok_phone', $_POST['nok_phone']);
$stmt->bindParam(':doa', $_POST['doa']);
$stmt->bindParam(':allergies', $_POST['allergies']);
if( $stmt->execute() ):
$message = 'Successfully created new user';
else:
$message = 'Sorry there must have been an issue creating your account';
endif;
endif;
