Insert Query into Online MySQL database not working - php

Question

I am trying to insert data into an online MySql database,I used this query a few months ago now it doesn't seem to work,
My Form:
$name = "Hilary";
$number = "768";
$orderss = "Rice x1";
$location = "Chilenje";
$con= mysqli_connect($host,$user,$pass,$db);
$query= "insert into orders values('".$name."','".$number."','".$orderss."','".$location."');";
$result= mysqli_query($con,$query);
if(!$result)
{
$response = array();
$code= "reg_false";
$message="Error Placing Order...";
array_push($response,array("code"=>$code,"message"=>$message));
echo json_encode(array("server_response"=>$response));
}
else
{
$response = array();
$code= "reg_true";
$message="Order Successful,Please wait for our call...";
array_push($response,array("code"=>$code,"message"=>$message));
echo json_encode(array("server_response"=>$response));
}
mysqli_close($con);
?>
When i run this form i get the "Error placing orders" part of server response and values are not inserted.Please help me

Make your $query very simple like this if you're inserting into all columns of your table
$stmt = $conn->prepare("INSERT INTO orders VALUES (?, ?, ?, ?)");
$stmt->bind_param("siss", $name, $number, $orderss, $location);
or if you're inserting into specific columns you can use this by replacing column_name* with your actual column names
$stmt = $conn->prepare("INSERT INTO orders (column_name1, column_name2, column_name3, column_name4) VALUES (?, ?, ?, ?)");
$stmt->bind_param("siss", $name, $number, $orderss, $location);
or I also modified your current code so you can test at your end one more thing "siss" are arguments which are of 4 different types i - integer, d - double, s - string, b - BLOB
<?php
$servername = "localhost";
$username = "username";
$password = "password";
$dbname = "myDB";
$name = "Hilary";
$number = "768";
$orderss = "Rice x1";
$location = "Chilenje";
// Create connection
$con = new mysqli($servername, $username, $password, $dbname);
// Check connection
if ($con->connect_error) {
die("Connection failed: " . $con->connect_error);
}
// prepare and bind
$stmt = $conn->prepare("INSERT INTO orders VALUES (?, ?, ?, ?)");
$stmt->bind_param("siss", $name, $number, $orderss, $location);
if($stmt->execute()) {
$stmt->execute();
$response = array();
$code= "reg_true";
$message="Order Successful,Please wait for our call...";
array_push($response,array("code"=>$code,"message"=>$message));
echo json_encode(array("server_response"=>$response));
} else {
$response = array();
$code= "reg_false";
$message="Error Placing Order...";
array_push($response,array("code"=>$code,"message"=>$message));
echo json_encode(array("server_response"=>$response));
}
$stmt->close();
$con->close();
?>
