I have a problem that might be a syntax problem but I can't seem to figure out what I am doing wrong.
I have created a form and when I click on submit, the data in the form is not sent to my mysql database.
Here is my html code
<div class="content-wrapper">
<div class="container">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-10">
<h1 class="page-head-line">Forms </h1>
</div>
</div>
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-10">
<div class="panel panel-default">
<div class="panel-heading">
BASIC FORM ELEMENTS
</div>
<div class="panel-body">
<form method="post" action="insert.php" >
<div class="form-group">
<label for="name">Name</label>
<input name="name' type="text" class="form-control" id="name" placeholder="Enter your name" required/>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<label for="project_num">OIT-GIS Project Number</label>
<input name="project_num' type="text" class="form-control" id="project_num" placeholder="OIT-GIS Project Number" />
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<label for="project_name">Project Name</label>
<input name="name' type="text" class="form-control" id="project_name" placeholder="Project Name" required/>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<label for="easyvista">EasyVista Ticket Number</label>
<input name="easyvista' type="text" class="form-control" id="easyvista" placeholder="EasyVista Ticket Number" />
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<label for="agency">Requestor/Agency</label>
<input name="agency' type="text" class="form-control" id="agency" placeholder="Requestor or Agency" />
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<label for="description">Description of Work:</label>
<input name="description' type="text" class="form-control" id="agency" placeholder="Description" />
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<label for="input-date">Enter Today Date</label>
<input name="input-date' type="date" value="">
<span class="result"></span>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<div class="col-md-10">
<input id="submit" name="submit" type="submit" class="btn btn-primary">
</div>
</div>
</form>
</div>
</div>
and here is my php
<?php
echo $POST;
error_reporting(E_ALL);
ini_set('display_errors', 1);
include("../includes/config.php");
if (isset($_POST['submit'])) {
echo $_POST['submit'];
$name = $_POST['name'];
$projectnum = $_POST['project_num'];
$projectname = $_POST['project_name'];
$easyvista = $_POST['easyvista'];
$agency = $_POST['agency'];
$description = $_POST['description'];
$startDate = $_POST['input-date'];
$sql="INSERT INTO statusreport(name, project_num, project_name, easyvista, agency, description)
VALUES
('$name','$projectnum', '$projectname', '$easyvista', '$agency', '$description')";
if (!mysqli_query($conn, $sql))
{
die('Error: ' . mysqli_connect_error($conn));
}
echo "Entry is recored <br/>";
echo "Name:", $name, "<br/>";
echo "test..................<br/>", $name;
/*header("location: http://10.1.7.129//gisadmin/admin/forms.php");*/
//echo "<script>setTimeout(\"location.href = 'http://10.1.7.129//gisadmin/admin/forms.php';\",700);</script>";
mysqli_query($conn, $sql);
}
else {
echo "No data";
}
?>
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

You have a mixing of single and double quotes here, the name attributes are opening the value with double quotes and closing with single quotes, should be as follows:
<form method="post" action="insert.php" >
<div class="form-group">
<label for="name">Name</label>
<input name="name" type="text" class="form-control" id="name" placeholder="Enter your name" required/>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<label for="project_num">OIT-GIS Project Number</label>
<input name="project_num" type="text" class="form-control" id="project_num" placeholder="OIT-GIS Project Number" />
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<label for="project_name">Project Name</label>
<input name="project_name" type="text" class="form-control" id="project_name" placeholder="Project Name" required/>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<label for="easyvista">EasyVista Ticket Number</label>
<input name="easyvista" type="text" class="form-control" id="easyvista" placeholder="EasyVista Ticket Number" />
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<label for="agency">Requestor/Agency</label>
<input name="agency" type="text" class="form-control" id="agency" placeholder="Requestor or Agency" />
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<label for="description">Description of Work:</label>
<input name="description" type="text" class="form-control" id="agency" placeholder="Description" />
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<label for="input-date">Enter Today Date</label>
<input name="input-date" type="date" value="">
<span class="result"></span>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<div class="col-md-10">
<input id="submit" name="submit" type="submit" class="btn btn-primary">
</div>
</div>
</form>
And then, as #Fred -ii stated in his comment, the php script is wrong:
echo $POST;
That line is wrong, there is no variable with name $POST before that code.

Are you getting success message but database is not getting updated OR Getting Total Error...???
1) Check for double quotes and single quotes..
<div class="form-group">
<label for="name">Name</label>
<input name="name" type="text" class="form-control" id="name" placeholder="Enter your name" required/>
</div>
2) Also check for path... for
include("../includes/config.php");
Is it correct or not...?
3)
<label for="project_name">Project Name</label>
<input name="name' type="text"
SHOULD BE
<label for="project_name">Project Name</label>
<input name="project_name" type="text"
