    <p>I am switching to PDO, already had success with dozens of pages for this development site, and this one was supposed to be a "quickie" form -- should have only taken about ten minutes. But I'm commencing my second weekend trying to figure out why it won't work. I know the the following is insecure -- I've stripped it to bare bones to try to figure out why it won't process. The following does nothing more than reload the form page with fields blank. I'm not getting any errors, error logs don't show anything, and it never gets to the point of processing the form -- for instance, entering two different passwords isn't shown as an error, echoing variables isn't showing. It seems it's not even getting to the "if(isset" point -- and I can't figure out why. </p> <pre><code>&lt;?php try { $con = new PDO('mysql:host=localhost;dbname=database', $user, $pass); } catch (PDOException $e) { echo "Connection failed: " . $e -&gt; getMessage(); } if (isset($_POST['submit'])) { $email = $_POST['email']; $username = $_POST['username']; $pass1 = $_POST['pass1']; $pass2 = $_POST['pass2']; if ($pass1 != $pass2) { die ("ERROR: Hey! The passwords don't match!"); } $stmt = $con -&gt; prepare (" INSERT INTO proj_users (email, username, password) VALUES (?, ?, ?) "); $stmt -&gt; bindParam(1,$email); $stmt -&gt; bindParam(2,$username); $stmt -&gt; bindParam(3,$pass1); $stmt -&gt; execute(); header('Location: /index.php'); } else { ?&gt; &lt;form action='&lt;?php echo $_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME']; ?&gt;' method='post'&gt; &lt;table&gt; &lt;tr&gt; &lt;td class='label'&gt;Email: &lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt;&lt;input type='text' name='email' /&gt;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt; &lt;tr&gt; &lt;td class='label'&gt;Username: &lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt;&lt;input type='text' name='username' maxlength='30' /&gt;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt; &lt;tr&gt; &lt;td class='label'&gt;Password: &lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt;&lt;input type='password' name='pass1' /&gt;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt; &lt;tr&gt; &lt;td class='label'&gt;Password Again: &lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt;&lt;input type='password' name='pass2' /&gt;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt; &lt;tr&gt; &lt;td class='label alignright' colspan='2'&gt;&lt;input type='submit' value='Register' /&gt;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt; &lt;/table&gt; &lt;/form&gt; &lt;?php } ?&gt; </code></pre> <p><strong>UPDATE:</strong> As I go through and update more of my forms, I run into the same problem -- no "name" attribute, and yet they had been working before I started messing with them. Didn't take me long to figure out it was because I was re-writing the forms and in the process changing them from "!isset" to "isset" -- so, of course, with no "name," they never were. </p>

    1. COIf you are going to be using this code for anything other than practice *please* do not store passwords in plain text in your database. At the very least they should be hashed using php's `crypt()` function.

    2. COThank you, Bad Wolf -- I took that out until I could get the form to work. Now that it is, I'm putting it back in. :-)

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).
