MYSQL insert into database using php and html form - php

Question

I'm trying to insert into an MYSQL database using php and an html form. When I press submit it says an item inserted successfully but when I log into phpmyadmin the table is empty?
My html form code is creon.html.
<form name="bmr_calc" action="https://cs1.ucc.ie/~lmm12/Project/creon.php" method="POST" id="BMRform">
<h1 id="info">Creon Calculator</h1>
<table>
<tr>
<td colspan="2" align="center">I take one: <br>
<input type="radio" name="creon1" value="10" required> Creon 10,000
<input type="radio" name="creon1" value="25" required> Creon 25,000
<br>per <input type="text" name="creon3" required>g of fat
</td>
</tr>
<br>
<tr>
<td>There are:</td>
<td><input type="text" name="creon4" required>g of fat in the item I'm about to eat</td>
</tr>
</table>
<td><input type="submit" value="Submit" style="float:center">
<br>
<img src="img/regpic.jpg" alt="reg" id="reg">
<br>
</td>
</form>
My php code is creon.php and it's saved on my college server;
<?php
$creon1 = $_POST['creon1'];
$creon3 = $_POST['creon3'];
$creon4 = $_POST['creon4'];
if (!empty($creon1) || !empty($creon3) || !empty($creon4)) {
$host = "cs1.ucc.ie";
$dbUsername = "lmm12";
$dbPassword = "----";
$dbname = "mscim2018_lmm12";
//create connection
$conn = new mysqli($host, $dbUsername, $dbPassword, $dbname);
if (mysqli_connect_error()) {
die('Connect Error('. mysqli_connect_errno().')'. mysqli_connect_error());
} else {
$INSERT = "INSERT Into creon (creon1, creon3, creon4) values(?, ?, ?)";
//Prepare statement
$stmt = $conn->prepare($INSERT);
$stmt->bind_param("sss", $creon1, $creon3, $creon4);
$stmt->execute();
echo "New record inserted sucessfully";
$stmt->close();
$conn->close();
}
} else {
echo "All field are required";
die();
}

This seems to be either a type issue in MySQL or a Type issue in your PHP code
To be sure, upload your data types from the table creon aka are the fields varchars, text etc.
Notice the if/else statement around bind_param you need to do that too just in case something isn't quite right, also capitalize INTO in your statement.
I ran the following:
<?php
$creon1 = $_POST['creon1'];
$creon3 = $_POST['creon3'];
$creon4 = $_POST['creon4'];
if (!empty($creon1) || !empty($creon3) || !empty($creon4)) {
$host = "localhost";
$dbUsername = "root";
$dbPassword = "";
$dbname = "quick";
//create connection
$conn = new mysqli($host, $dbUsername, $dbPassword, $dbname);
if (mysqli_connect_error()) {
die('Connect Error('. mysqli_connect_errno().')'. mysqli_connect_error());
} else {
$test = "INSERT INTO testing (creon1, creon3, creon4) values(?, ?, ?)";
//Prepare statement
$stmt = $conn->prepare($test);
if ($stmt != false)
$stmt->bind_param("sss", $creon1, $creon3, $creon4);
else
print("Returns false");
$stmt->execute();
echo "New record inserted sucessfully";
$stmt->close();
$conn->close();
}
} else {
echo "All field are required";
die();
}
?>
It gave me this result after submitting the form:
In my database it inserted the row:
