PHP script isn't inserting Swift Data into MYSQL database - php

Question

In the IOS app I'm trying to make I am trying to get user input and submit it to a MYSQL database, however the database isn't updating. Here is the swift function that is called to submit the data:
func submit_data(){
let request = NSMutableURLRequest(url: NSURL(string: "omitted")! as URL)
request.httpMethod = "POST"
let postString = "a=\(bar_name)&b=\(user_data)"
request.httpBody = postString.data(using: String.Encoding.utf8)
let task = URLSession.shared.dataTask(with: request as URLRequest) {
data, response, error in
if error != nil {
print("error=\(error)")
return
}
print("response = \(response)")
let responseString = NSString(data: data!, encoding: String.Encoding.utf8.rawValue)
print("responseString = \(responseString)")
print(postString)
}
task.resume()
}
Here is my PHP code:
<?PHP
//Create connection
$con=mysqli_connect("localhost","username","password","covermeo_coverme_data");
//check connection
if(mysqli_connect_errno())
{
echo "Failed to connect to MySQL: " . mysqli_connect_error();
}
$sql = "INSERT INTO User_Data (Bar, Cover)
VALUES ('".$_POST["a"]."','".$_POST["b"]."')";
$result = mysqli_query($conn,$sql);
// Close connections
mysqli_close($con);
?>
Here is a screenshot of the MYSQL database.
