I'm learning PHP this semester and I'm both enjoying it and immediately lost a bit on my first real assignment. There are a few other similar questions but, because I'm new, I'm not able to extrapolate their answers to help with this.
I am getting the error in the title. The mission is to create POST code to handle all of the product description, price data, etc. I've added that code, but I'm getting the must be a string error on like 13 (under product description) but am unsure why.
