Connection.php
<?php

You have so many errors in your code. no db name, no proper query definition. you can use this simple code:
Connection.php
<?php
$servername = "localhost";
$username = "root";
$password = "";
$dbname = "slim";
// Create connection
$conn = new mysqli($servername, $username, $password, $dbname);
// Check connection
if ($conn->connect_error) {
die("Connection failed: " . $conn->connect_error);
}
?>
Inserting employee code:
<?php
if (isset($_POST["name"])){
$emp_name=$_POST["name"];
echo $emp_name;
echo "is your name";
}
else{
$emp_name = null;
echo "POST filename is not assigned";
}
$success=0;
$status="Active";
$sql = "INSERT INTO employee (name)
VALUES ('$emp_name')";
if ($conn->query($sql) === TRUE) {
$success=1;
} else {
echo "Error: " . $sql . "<br>" . $conn->error;
}
$conn->close();
?>
It's working and easy to understand for you.
