    <p>I'm very new to php and I really want to learn it. I'm learning from w3school, but I can't manage to do this (saving to database)... I also tried specifying the values in the .php and managed not to get error but it did not save in the database. Please tell me what is wrong in this.</p> <pre><code>&lt;form action="submit.php" method="POST"&gt; &lt;p&gt;Name:&lt;input type="text" name="name"/&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Email:&lt;input type="text" name="email"/&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Message:&lt;textarea rows="3" cols="1" name="message"&gt;&lt;/textarea&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;a href="submit.php"&gt;Submit&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/form&gt; </code></pre> <hr> <p>PHP File</p> <pre><code>&lt;?php $con = mysqli_connect("localhost","root","","kellywood"); if (mysqli_connect_errno()) { echo "Failed to connect to Database"; } else { echo "Connected"; } $sql = "INSERT INTO kellywood (messages.name, messages.email, messages.message) VALUES ('$_POST[name]','$_POST[email]','$_POST[message]')"); if (!mysqli_query($con,$sql)) { die('Error: ' . mysqli_error($con)); } mysqli_close($con); ?&gt; </code></pre> <h2>No error, and I specified the values but it did not save in the database.</h2> <pre><code>&lt;?php $con = mysqli_connect("localhost","root","","kellywood"); if (mysqli_connect_errno()) { echo "Failed to connect to Database"; } else { echo "Connected"; } mysqli_query($con,"INSERT INTO kellywood(messages.name, messages.email, messages.message) VALUES ('Peter', 'Griffin',35)"); mysqli_close($con); ?&gt; </code></pre> <p>Sorry for the noob question but i'm very new in php...

    1. COI'd suggest not using w3school to learn. It's not that good. If you're really interested, look into PDO prepared statements as it's safer and it'd be better for you to get started with that than learn bad habits that you have to later fix.

    2. COJust change this `messages.name, messages.email, messages.message` to this `name, email, message` I guess that your table kellywood just have this fields On your insert statement

    3. CO@Niketa Using PDO doesn't protect one from bad habits. Mysqli is perfectly good. I have seen some truly awful uses of prepared statements created using PDO.

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.
