Sorry if this already exists, but I couldn't find this anywhere.
I am trying to insert information from a form into a table called "instest" inside a database called "test". The columns inside the "instest" table are "firstName", "lastName", and "age".
The problem is that every time click on the submit button it either shows up as a download (IE) or the code shows up (Opera), instead of the code actually executing.
Here is the code:
/* TestInsert.php */
<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html>
<body>
<form action="Insert.php" method="post">
Firstname: <input type="text" name="firstname" />
Lastname: <input type="text" name="lastname" />
Age: <input type="text" name="age" />
<input type="submit" />
</form>
</body>
</html>
/* Insert.php */
<?php
$con = mysql_connect("localhost","root@localhost"); //No password
if (!$con)
{
die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error());
}
mysql_select_db("test", $con);
$sql="INSERT INTO instest (firstName, lastName, age)
VALUES
('$_POST[firstname]','$_POST[lastname]','$_POST[age]')";
if (!mysql_query($sql,$con))
{
die('Error: ' . mysql_error());
}
echo "1 record added";
mysql_close($con)
?>
Try adding a value="submit"
browsers prefer proper html
