    <p>i have a username/password <code>&lt;form&gt;</code> and if false, will display <em>invalid users</em>, if true will display a <code>&lt;textarea&gt;</code> and users can comment then submit.</p> <p>basically, the code below, is the <code>then</code> statement that <em>if login is correct then..</em></p> <pre><code>session_start(); $_SESSION['name'] = $name; echo "success, hi $name"; echo "&lt;table&gt; &lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;insert comment here&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;poster&lt;/td&gt; &lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;form action='post.php' method='post'&gt;&lt;textarea name='content'&gt;&lt;/textarea&gt; &lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt; $name&lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt; &lt;input type='submit' name='submit' value='submit'&gt; &lt;/form&gt; &lt;/table&gt;"; </code></pre> <p>in relation to the <code>&lt;form&gt;</code> above, i created <em>post.php</em> which will parse all data coming from the <code>&lt;form&gt;</code> and insert it into the database.</p> <pre><code>&lt;?php mysql_connect("localhost","root","") or die (mysql_error()); mysql_select_db("data") or die (mysql_error()); ?&gt; &lt;?php if (isset($_POST['submit'])) { $cont = $_POST['content']; //data coming from index.php &lt;form&gt; mysql_query("insert into data ('content') values ('$cont')"); } else { } ?&gt; </code></pre> <p>what baffles me, is there are no errors being shown. when I input something on my <code>&lt;textarea&gt;</code> then clicked submit, it goes to <em>localhost/post.php</em> but when i refresh to the index page, the submitted data was not saved/recorded to the database.</p>

    1. COWhy does that baffle you? If the query fails, this gets unnoticed in your code, so why do you expect a notice?

    2. CO1. dont use mysql_* (deprecated), use mysqli_* or pdo instead. 2. content doesnt need quote in the query (its a field name) : insert into data (content) values ('$cont').

Querying!

 
Guidance
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.

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