Pushing Data to a MySQL Database from a Form - php

Question

I am trying to send data from an HTML form to a MySQL database in phpmyadmin. I have a database named bhs2018 and a table called game 1. Here are the contents of that table.
Here is my form:
<form name="game" action="insert.php" method="post">
<p> <select id="player" name = 'player'>
<option value="b">B</option>
<option value="n">N</option>
<option value="a">A</option>
<option value="c">C</option>
<option value="m">M</option>
<option value="j">J</option>
<option value="ja">Ja</option>
</select>
<select id="what" name = 'what'>
<option value="shoton">Shot on Cage</option>
<option value="shotoff">Shot off Cage</option>
<option value="goal">Goal</option>
<option value="countergoal">Goal on Counter</option>
<option value="countershot">Shot on Counter</option>
<option value="assist">Assist</option>
<option value="block">Block</option>
<option value="steal">Steal</option>
<option value="turnover">Turnover</option>
<option value="drawn">Ejection Drawn</option>
<option value="ejected">Ejected</option>
</select>
<select id="where" name = 'where'>
<option value="set">Set</option>
<option value="navy">Navy</option>
<option value="leftwing">1/2 side past 5</option>
<option value="rightwing">4/5 side past 5</option>
<option value="point">Point/3</option>
<option value="lefttwo">1/2 side 2 meter</option>
<option value="righttwo">4/5 side 2 meter</option>
<option value="1">6 on 5 1</option>
<option value="2">6 on 5 2</option>
<option value="3">6 on 5 3</option>
<option value="4">6 on 5 4</option>
<option value="5">6 on 5 5</option>
<option value="6">6 on 5 6</option>
</select>
<select id="quarter" name = 'quarter'>
<option value="q1">Quarter 1</option>
<option value="q2">Quarter 2</option>
<option value="q3">Quarter 3</option>
<option value="q4">Quarter 4</option>
</select>
<select id="time" name = 'time'>
<option value="0:30">0:30</option>
<option value="1:00">1:00</option>
<option value="1:30">1:30</option>
<option value="2:00">2:00</option>
<option value="2:30">2:30</option>
<option value="3:00">3:00</option>
<option value="3:30">3:30</option>
<option value="4:00">4:00</option>
<option value="4:30">4:30</option>
<option value="5:00">5:00</option>
<option value="5:30">5:30</option>
<option value="6:00">6:00</option>
<option value="6:30">6:30</option>
<option value="7:00">7:00</option>
</select>
Notes: <input type="text" id = 'notes' name = 'notes'>
<button type="submit" onclick="save()"> Save </button> </p>
</form>
Whenever I click my "Save" button, the insert.php script loads. Instead of echoing something, it just shows the code. Here is insert.php.
<?php
$con = mysqli_connect('127.0.0.1','root','password'(my actual password is here);
if(!$con){
echo 'Not Connected to Server';
}
if (!mysqli_select_db($con,'bhs2018')){
echo 'Not Selected';
}
$Player = $_POST['player'];
$Quarter = $_POST['quarter'];
$Time = $_POST['time'];
$Where = $_POST['where'];
$Notes = $_POST['notes'];
$What = $_POST['what'];
$sql = "INSERT INTO game1 (player,quarter,time1,where1,notes,what) VALUES ('$Player', '$Quarter', '$Time', '$Where','$Notes','$What')";
if(!mysqli_query($con,$sql)){
echo'Not Inserted';
}
else{
echo 'Inserted';
}
header('refresh:2; url=index.html');
?>
What is looking wrong with my code? Why does it not run the php script? Thank you so much!

Answer 1

Check your database. Your PRIMARY KEY player should be an integer like int(30) or bigint(200) but not varchar. Create a new column for PRIMARY KEY something like player_id and shift player to next column. Also when primary key is an integer, there is no manual insertion option for inputting it's value in your form. So make your PRIMARY KEY is set to AUTO_INCREMENT in case you don't want to insert it's value manually.
