    <p>I am for the first time trying to build a simple form to insert data to a MySQL table. It is not working however.</p> <p>This is the form:</p> <pre><code>&lt;form action="" method="post"&gt; Select Park : &lt;select name="park_id"&gt; &lt;option value=""&gt;Select Park&lt;/option&gt; &lt;?php foreach ($res as $row) { printf('&lt;option value="%s"&gt;%s&lt;/option&gt;' . PHP_EOL, $row['park_id'], $row['name']); } ?&gt; &lt;/select&gt; Headline: &lt;input type="text" name="headline"&gt; &lt;br&gt; Story: &lt;input type="textbox" name="story"&gt; &lt;br&gt; Date: &lt;input type="date" name="date"&gt; Password :&lt;input type="password" value="" name="password" id="password"&gt; &lt;input type="submit"&gt; &lt;/form&gt; </code></pre> <p>and this is the php:</p> <pre><code>if(isset($_POST['submit'])){ $stmt = $db-&gt;prepare("INSERT INTO tpf_newstest(headline,story,date,park_id) VALUES(:headline,:story,:date,:park_id)"); $stmt-&gt;execute(array(':headline' =&gt; $headline, ':story' =&gt; $story, ':date' =&gt; $date, ':park_id' =&gt; $park_id)); $affected_rows = $stmt-&gt;rowCount(); } </code></pre> <p>It it all within the same index.php file. Any ideas as to what I've done wrong? Thanks</p> <p>EDIT: if it helps this is the full page</p> <pre><code>try { $pdo = new PDO('mysql:host=localhost;dbname=*', '*','******'); $pdo-&gt;setAttribute(PDO::ATTR_ERRMODE, PDO::ERRMODE_EXCEPTION); $pdo-&gt;exec('SET NAMES "utf8"'); } catch (PDOException $e) { $output = 'Unable to connect to the database server.'; include 'output.html.php'; exit(); } $output = 'Theme Park Database initialized'; $qry = "select park_id, name from tpf_parks order by name"; $res = $pdo-&gt;query($qry); if(isset($_POST['submit'])){ $stmt = $db-&gt;prepare("INSERT INTO tpf_newstest(headline,story,date,park_id) VALUES(:headline,:story,:date,:park_id)"); $stmt-&gt;execute(array(':headline' =&gt; $headline, ':story' =&gt; $story, ':date' =&gt; $date, ':park_id' =&gt; $park_id)); $affected_rows = $stmt-&gt;rowCount(); } ?&gt; &lt;form action="" method="post"&gt; Select Park : &lt;select name="park_id"&gt; &lt;option value=""&gt;Select Park&lt;/option&gt; &lt;?php foreach ($res as $row) { printf('&lt;option value="%s"&gt;%s&lt;/option&gt;' . PHP_EOL, $row['park_id'], $row['name']); } ?&gt; &lt;/select&gt; Headline: &lt;input type="text" name="headline"&gt; &lt;br&gt; Story: &lt;input type="textbox" name="story"&gt; &lt;br&gt; Date: &lt;input type="date" name="date"&gt; Password :&lt;input type="password" value="" name="password" id="password"&gt; &lt;input type="submit"&gt; &lt;/form&gt; </code></pre>

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).
