Inserting data from a form into SQLite3 database using PHP - php

Question

I am trying to create a registration from and then post the data into a SQlite databases file.
My form looks like this:
<form action="registerprocess_test.php" class="form-horizontal" id=
"register_form" method="post" name="register_form" role="form">
<h2>Registration Form</h2>
<div class="form-group">
<label class="col-sm-3 control-label" for="firstname">First
Name</label>
<div class="col-sm-6">
<input autofocus="" class="form-control" id="firstname" name=
"firstname" placeholder="First Name" type="text">
</div>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<label class="col-sm-3 control-label" for="lastname">Last
Name</label>
<div class="col-sm-6">
<input autofocus="" class="form-control" id="lastname" name=
"lastname" placeholder="Last Name" type="text">
</div>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<label class="col-sm-3 control-label" for="email">Username</label>
<div class="col-sm-6">
<input class="form-control" id="username" name="username"
placeholder="Username" type="text">
</div>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<label class="col-sm-3 control-label" for=
"password">Password</label>
<div class="col-sm-6">
<input class="form-control" id="password" name="password"
placeholder="Password" type="password">
</div>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<label class="col-sm-3 control-label" for="country">Country</label>
<div class="col-sm-6">
<select class="form-control" id="country" name="country">
<option>
United Kingdom
</option>
<option>
United States
</option>
</select>
</div>
</div><!-- /.form-group -->
<div class="form-group">
<label class="control-label col-sm-3">Gender</label>
<div class="col-sm-6">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-sm-4">
<label class="radio-inline"><input id="femaleRadio"
type="radio" value="Female">Female</label>
</div>
<div class="col-sm-4">
<label class="radio-inline"><input id="maleRadio" name=
"gender" type="radio" value="Male">Male</label>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div><!-- /.form-group -->
<div class="form-group">
<div class="col-sm-6">
<div class="checkbox"></div>
</div><!-- /.form-group -->
<div class="form-group">
<div class="col-sm-6 col-sm-offset-3">
<div class="checkbox">
<label><input type="checkbox">I accept <a href=
"#">Terms & Conditions</a></label>
</div>
</div>
</div><!-- /.form-group -->
<div class="form-group">
<div class="col-sm-6 col-sm-offset-3">
<button class="btn btn-primary btn-block" type=
"submit">Register</button>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</form>
Then my PHP looks like this:
<?php
try
{
//open the database
$db = new PDO('sqlite:users.db');
$firstname = $_POST["firstname"];
$lastname = $_POST["lastname"];
$username = $_POST["username"];
$password = $_POST["password"];
$gender = $_POST["gender"];
$country = $_POST["country"];
//Insert record
$db->exec("INSERT INTO registered_users (firstname, lastname, username, password, gender, country) VALUES ('$firstname', '$lastname', '$username', '$password', '$gender', $country);");
//now output the data to a simple html table...
print "<table border=1>";
print "<tr><td>firstname</td><td>lastname</td><td>username</td><td>password</td><td>gender</td><td>country</td></tr>";
$result = $db->query('SELECT * FROM registered_users');
foreach($result as $row)
{
print "<tr><td>".$row['firstname']."</td>";
print "<td>".$row['lastname']."</td>";
print "<td>".$row['username']."</td>";
print "<td>".$row['password']."</td>";
print "<td>".$row['gender']."</td>";
print "<td>".$row['country']."</td>";
}
print "</table>";
$db = NULL;
}
catch(PDOException $e)
{
print 'Exception : ' .$e->getMessage();
}
?>
I know I am connecting to the database as it displays the current data in the database in the table, upon clicking submit. However it does not insert the data from the registration form. Am I missing something important in my php code?

Answer 1

I did some error checking, It was because I had another column within my table that I was not inserting into. So I deleted this column from the database and now it works fine.
