    <p>I am very new to PHP &amp; MySQL. Just designing websites for friends as a hobby, so any help is greatly appreciated. When I have a simple contact form on my page I keep getting error messages when submitting the information. Here is the PHP:</p> <pre><code>&lt;?php $con = mysql_connect("localhost","user","password"); if (!$con)) { die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error()); } mysql_select_db("database_name", $con); $sql="INSERT INTO contact (first_name, last_name, email, phone, message) VALUES ('$_POST[first_name]','$_POST[last_name]','$_POST[email]','$_POST[phone]','$_POST[message])"; if (!mysql_query($sql,$con)) { die('Error: ' . mysql_error()); } echo "1 record added"; mysql_close($con); ?&gt; </code></pre> <p>I put in my username &amp; password where necessary, but I keep "localhost" there. Is this correct? I have hosting through webhostingpad. I also insert my database name above. Here is my HTML:</p> <pre><code>&lt;!--Start of order form--&gt; &lt;form id="contactform" method="POST" action="http://www.talephotography.com/insert.php"&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;label&gt;First Name:&lt;br /&gt; &lt;input type="text" name="first_name" class="textfield" value="" /&gt; &lt;/label&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;label&gt;Last Name:&lt;br /&gt; &lt;input type="text" name="last_name" class="textfield" value="" /&gt; &lt;/label&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;label&gt;Email: &lt;br /&gt; &lt;input type="text" name="email" class="textfield" value="" /&gt; &lt;/label&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;label&gt;Phone: &lt;br /&gt; &lt;input type="text" name="phone" class="textfield" value="" /&gt; &lt;/label&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;label&gt;Message: &lt;br /&gt; &lt;textarea name="message" class="textarea" cols="45" rows="5"&gt;&lt;/textarea&gt; &lt;/label&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;input type="submit" name="submit" class="button" value="Submit" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;/form&gt; &lt;!--End of order form--&gt; </code></pre> <p>I can elaborate anywhere necessary.</p> <hr> <p>Changed some of the code, it's only posting the email address to the database however.</p> <pre><code>mysql_select_db("databasename", $con); $first = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['first']); $last = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['last']); $email = strip_tags(mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['email'])); $number = preg_replace('/[^0-9]/', '', $_POST['number']); $number = (int) $number; $sql="INSERT INTO contact (first, last, email, phone); VALUES ('$first','$last','$email','$number')"; </code></pre> <p>There's my code, however when I check my database the only info listed is the email address. </p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

SQuiL has stopped working due to an internal error.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
