Body
<p>I'm fairly new to PHP and designing a small blog. I'm trying to submit a form to create a new post but it isn't working and I can't figure out why. I've compared it to my working code for the register form and it seems the same. I'm not getting any errors, it's just reloading the page and not posting to the database. </p> <p>View - v_newpost.php</p> <pre><code> <article> <?php if (!isset ($_SESSION['username'])) { ?> <span class="alert">Please login to create a post.</span> <?php } else { ?> <form class="newpost" action="" method="post"> <fieldset> <legend>Submit a new post</legend> <?php if ($error['alert'] != '') { echo "<span class='alert'>".$error['alert']."</span>";} ?> <ul> <li> <label for="title">Title:</label> <input type="text" name="title" value="<?php echo $input['title']; ?>" required autofocus> </li> <li> <label for="content">Content:</label> <textarea id="content" name="content" rows=6 value="<?php echo $input['content']; ?>"></textarea> </li> </ul> </fieldset> <fieldset> <button type="submit" class=postbutton>Publish</button> </fieldset> </form> </div> <?php } ?> </article> </code></pre> <p>newpost.php</p> <pre><code> <?php require_once 'includes/connection.php'; $error['alert'] = ''; $input['title'] = ''; $input['content'] = ''; if (isset($_POST['submit'])) { if ($_POST['title'] == '' || $_POST['content'] == '') { $error['alert'] = 'Please give your post a title and content.'; $input['title'] = $_POST['title']; $input['content'] = $_POST['content']; include_once('v_newpost.php'); } else { $input['title'] = htmlentities($_POST['title'], ENT_QUOTES); $input['content'] = htmlentities($_POST['content'], ENT_QUOTES); if ($stmt = $mysqli->prepare("INSERT INTO posts (title, content) VALUES (?,?)")) { $stmt->bind_param("ss", $input['title'], $input['content']); $stmt->execute(); $stmt->close(); $error['alert'] = ''; $input['title'] = ''; $input['content'] = ''; header('Location: index.php'); } else { $error['alert'] = 'Failed to create post'; } } } else { include_once('v_newpost.php'); } ?> </code></pre> <p>I'm sure it's probably something stupid, but I've looked over it so many times and can't understand why it isn't working...</p>

2. COThis actually wasn't the problem as the form posts back to the same page if left blank. I hadn't given my submit button a name as greut pointed out.

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.
