I created a php form for a catering service that I'm planning to insert into a MySQL database: The php form is called index.php:
<!DOCTYPE html>

<div class="container-fluid">

And the inquire.php is:
<?php
$mysql_host = "localhost";
$mysql_username = "root";
$mysql_password = "password";
$mysql_database = "catering";
$mysqli = new Mysqli($mysql_host, $mysql_username, $mysql_password, $mysql_database);
$prepare = $mysqli->prepare("INSERT INTO `inquiry`(`CustName`,`Location`,`Month`,`Day`,`Year`,`Guests`,`ContNum`) VALUES (?,?,?,?,?,?,?)");
$prepare->bind_param("sssssss", print_r($POST)['CustName'], print_r($POST)['Location'], print_r($POST)['Month'], print_r($POST)['Day'], print_r($POST)['Year'], print_r($POST)['Guests'], print_r($POST)['ContNum']);
$prepare->execute();
$mysqli->close();
?>
Which I got from this other question: How to write information from html form to MySQL Database
However, mine doesn't work. The php url just changes, no data is inserted into my database. I'm thinking maybe something's wrong with my setup or installation maybe its one of the following?
- I have no PHP installed in my PC, just XAMPP.
- I put the index.php and inquire.php in a folder in xampp >htdocs
- I run XAMPP in Admin mode.
- the print_r($_POST) might be incorrect.
Guys i really need help. I made sure the database name, table name, and column names matched. What could I be doing wrong here?
DATABASE PIC: enter image description here
Update ;
No data still inserted, the url only changes from file://index.php to file://index.php?Guests=2&ContNum=123
