Using a MySQL database, I add users to the database like this test data:
INSERT INTO `database_users`.`Members` (`ID`, `Username`, `Password`,
`First Name`, `Last Name`, `Email Address`, `Telephone Number`,
`Address Line 1`, `Address Line 2`, `Town/City`, `Postcode`,
`Mailing-list`, `Terms`) VALUES (NULL, 'Test', '', '', '', '', '', '',
NULL, '', '', NULL, '');"
My HTML form looks like this:
<input type="submit" value="Join!">
<div class="col-lg-6">
<input type="text" placeholder="Town/City" id="Town/City">
</div>
<div class="col-lg-6">
<input type="text" placeholder="Postcode" id="Postcode">
</div>
</input>
I am looking to submit the form on my website and have the data upload to my MySQL database. Can anyone advise on what I am missing from my form?
Your sql query seems to be good, but if you don't know how to use PHP you'll be blocked often.
The best thing to do is learn basic PHP to know how to implemant youself your register page, and ask on stackoverflow if you have an issue during the development.
And your form isn't correct: You need a <form> input and define on it the method (post or get), and the action (the file where the datas goes).
Basically, your code have to be like:
HTML (form.html)
<form method="POST" action="save.php">
<input type="text" name="pseudo">
<input type="submit">
</form>
PHP (save.php)
<?php
if(isset($_POST['pseudo'])){ // Test if the variable exists
$pseudo = $_POST['pseudo'];
// Your SQL query here which save the pseudo. Don't forget to test your variables.
}
else {
echo "pseudo is required";
}
?>
Don't forget to escape your variables and use prepared statements. Else, your site will be many flaws like XSS or SQL injections.
