    <p>I am trying to insert data from a form I have made into my MYsql table using mysqli but whenever I submit my form it just displays the successfully connected to db server. Any ideas? It should show my errors for the insert shouldn't it?</p> <pre><code>&lt;?php if ($_POST['submit']) { $errormsg = ""; $name = $_POST['name']; $password = $_POST['password']; $password2 = $_POST['password2']; $email = $_POST['email']; $phone = $_POST['phone']; $connection = @mysqli_connect("$hostname","$username", "$password", "$database"); if(!$connection){ die("&lt;p&gt;The database server is not available.&lt;/p&gt;".mysqli_error()); } echo "&lt;p&gt;Sucessfully connected to the database server.&lt;/p&gt;"; if((!$name)||(!$password)||(!$password2)||(!$email)||(!$phone)){ /* Checks if all inputs are filled*/ $errormsg = "Please insert the required fields below&lt;br /&gt;"; if ($name == "") { $errormsg = $errormsg . "Enter a name.&lt;br /&gt;"; } if ($password == "") { $errormsg = $errormsg . "Please enter a password.&lt;br /&gt;"; } if ($password2 =="") { $errormsg = $errormsg . "Please re-enter your password.&lt;br /&gt;"; } if ($email =="") { $errormsg = $errormsg . "Please enter an email address.&lt;br /&gt;"; } if ($phone =="") { $errormsg = $errormsg . "Please enter a phone number.&lt;br /&gt;"; } if($errormsg){ echo "$errormsg"; } } if($password != $password2) { $errormsg = $errormsg. "Your passwords must match!&lt;br/&gt;"; } function checkEmail($email){ //begin email check function $sql = "SELECT count(email) FROM CUSTOMER WHERE email='$email'"; $result = mysqli_result(mysqli_query($sql),0); if( $result &gt; 0 ){ $errormsg = $errormsg. "There is already a user with that email!"; }//end email check function if(!$errormsg) { $insertquery = "INSERT INTO CUSTOMER (customer_no, name, password, email, phone) VALUES(NULL, '$name', '$password', '$email', '$phone')"; $queryresult = mysqli_query($insertquery); if($queryresult) { echo("&lt;br&gt;Registration sucessful"); } else { echo("&lt;br&gt;registration was not sucessful"); } } } } ?&gt; </code></pre>

    2. COFirst start by changing `if ($_POST['submit']) {` to `if(isset($_POST['submit'])) {` it's better and will check whether the submit button was actually "clicked".

    3. COit probably doesn't go inside if((!$name)||(!$password)||(!$password2)||(!$email)||(!$phone)){. so no insert is attempted

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.
