I am still a beginner at PHP/MYSQL and I am having difficulties inserting data into my MYSQL database. (I've originally tried using my localhost database but once i moved to an online server, everything seems to stop working.)
Right now, as soon as i submit the data from my index.php page.. it only refreshes the page and doesn't add any data.
However, when I go to submit.php, everything works fine and it adds an empty set of data to my results.php.
My codes are as follows. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
Index.php

Your form has no action, so it'll submit the form to the URL you loaded the page from, which will be index.php.
You need this:
<form id="profiles" action="Submit.php" method="POST">
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Note the method portion as well - with no method, forms default to using GET
Be careful you have two form in your index.php.
<form id="profiles">
and
<form action="submit.php" method="post">
I think the first one is useless.

i'm learning php since a week from now, and one of my project is to make a form that adapt fields about a url token.
For example: if the user is a student token will be index.php?token=e3
the user is a professionnal will be index.php?token=p4
i'm realy happy because everything is working, except the last part.. the POST of the user informations in my db called "test" which as a single table called form and i the db got good settings, the table is well designed with int-varchars, anything that can handle the datas.
i would like to atleast make it work for e3 then i'll be able to adapt for the others, that's why i give you an example of what i did since now, maybe i'm missing something important but i got no php errors, the datas are not sending when i press send button and the page refresh as index.php
if you guys got an idea, you don't need to tell me realy how to do, i just need someone better than me that could tell me "well you should look at sessions" or something else that is wrong because i have no clue to debug i'm stuck since yesterday on this problem.
Here is my code remember if you want to make it appear clearly you need to specify the token "?token=e3"
thank you in advance everyone who'll help me:

How I can change the form action thru if else statement that will redirect to other PHP page?
I'm new to PHP, thankyou in advance
here is my code:
<?php
if(isset($_POST['btn_submit']))
{
$Fname = $_POST['Fname'];
$Lname = $_POST['Lname'];
$sel = "SELECT Lname FROM users WHERE Fname='" . $Fname . "'";
$result = $conn->query($sel);
if($result->num_rows>0)
{
while($row = $result->fetch_assoc())
{
$Lname = $row['Lname'];
}
if ($Lname == $Lname)
{
echo "Correct data!";
/*i want to put redirect page here*/
}
else
{
echo "invalid Firsname!";
}
}
else
{
echo "invalid Lastname!";
}
}
?>
<form action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>" method="POST">
<input type="text" name="Fname" placeholder="Enter your Fname" required>
<input type="text" name="Lname" placeholder="Lname" required>
<input type="submit" name="btn_submit" value="Sign In">
</form>
example
if ($_POST['p'] == 1) { $insertGoTo = "t1.php"; }
if ($_POST['p'] == 2) { $insertGoTo = "t2.php"; }
header(sprintf("Location: %s", $insertGoTo));
?
Hi so I can't seem to find any help on this topic because there is no error being thrown. I am trying to insert records to a database via php using mysqli_query but after the re-direct no changes are made.

I would appreciate any, thanks
You should edit your insert_records() to give you feedback if mysqli_query fails.
function insert_records($p_title, $p_name, $p_address, $p_contact, $p_position, $p_gender, $p_DOB)
{
global $conn;
$result = mysqli_query($conn, 'some query') or die('Query failed: ' . mysqli_error($conn));
return $result;
}
and read about how you can prevent MySQL injection here: How can I prevent SQL injection in PHP?
edit:
$DOB = input($_POST["DOB_year"] + "/" + $_POST["DOB_months"] + "/" + $_POST["DOB_day"]);
in php '+' is used to do calculations. if you want to concatenate strings use '.'
$DOB = input($_POST["DOB_year"] . "/" . $_POST["DOB_months"] . "/" . $_POST["DOB_day"]);
i try to challenge my self but i stuck(
I try to create a php form with 2 steps confirmation:
When the user fill up the form and hit Submit, it checks all the conditions(name, pass etc.). If everything ok automatically redirecting the user.
After redirecting (to the same page) the user can check all the details again.
If they ok, hit again the submit button which redirects to the final page.
I stuck on the 2nd phase...how to redirect to the final page?
I'm very beginner so i'm curios what could be done better or any advise.

Add action in your form to redirect final page.
You already have all values in session so you can access it in final page also
<?php
// the php code
session_start();
if ($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] == "POST") {
// setting up the variables
$title = $_POST['title'];
$fName = trim(filter_input(INPUT_POST,'fName', FILTER_SANITIZE_STRING));
$lName = trim(filter_input(INPUT_POST,'lName',FILTER_SANITIZE_STRING));
$age = intval($_POST['age']);
$_SESSION['title'] = $title;
$_SESSION['fName'] = $fName;
$_SESSION['lName'] = $lName;
$_SESSION['age'] = $age;
//checking for possible errors
if ( $fName == "" || strlen($fName) <= 2 ) {
$errorMsg1 = "<span>Provide your First name!(minimum 3 characters)</span>";
$status = false;
}
else if ( $lName == "" || strlen($lName) <= 2 ) {
$errorMsg2 = "<span>Provide your Last name!(minimum 3 characters)</span>";
$status = false;
}
else if ( $age < 18 ) {
$errorMsg3 = "<span>You must be 18 or above!</span>";

I'm making a process form in PHP and I'm trying to display the feedback but it's not wanting to show. The code that I have is:
<html>
<head>
<style type="text/css">
.error{color: #FF0000;}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<h1>Customer Feedback</h1>
<p1>Please tell us what you think</p1><br><br>
<?PHP
$name = trim($_POST[fullname]);
$email = trim($_POST[email]);
$text = trim($_POST[feedback]);
?>
<form method='POST' action='<?php echo htmlspecialchars($_SERVER['PHP_SELF']);?>' >
<p1>Your name:</p1><br>
<input type="text" name="fullname" value="<?php echo $fullname; ?>" required><br><br>
<p1>Your email address:</p1><br>
<input type="text" name="email" value="<?php echo $email; ?>" required><br><br>
<p1>Your feedback:</p1><br>
<textarea rows="5" cols="50" name="feedback"><?php echo nl2br($text);?></textarea>
<textarea><?php echo $text;?></textarea><br><br>
<input type="submit" Value="Send Feedback"><br><br>
</form>
<?php
if(isset($_POST[fullname]) && $_POST[fullname] != "" && !empty($_POST[fullname])) {
echo "Hi " . $name . ".<br>";
}
else{
echo "Please enter a name....";
}
if(isset($_POST[email]) && $_POST[email] != "" && !empty($_POST[email]) {
echo "Your email is " . $email . ".<br>";
}
else{
echo "Please enter a email address.";
}
if(isset($_POST[feedback]) && $_POST[feedback] != "") {
echo "Your feedback is:" . $feedback . "<br>";
}
else{
echo "No feedback.";
}
?>
</body>
</html>
When I run the page, it shows the name, email and 'Your feedback is: ' but not the feedback that was entered into the textarea.
EDIT
I want to use the nl2br() function round the text box.
Change following line to:
echo "Your feedback is:" . $text . "<br>";
Because you've never assign a value to $feedback variable.
Your code had too many errors I have corrected it, please fin the working code below:
<html>
<head>
<style type="text/css">
.error{color: #FF0000;}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<h1>Customer Feedback</h1>
<p1>Please tell us what you think</p1><br><br>
<?PHP
$name = trim($_POST[fullname]);
$email = trim($_POST[email]);
$text = trim($_POST[feedback]);
?>
<form method='POST' action='<?php echo htmlspecialchars($_SERVER['PHP_SELF']);?>' >
<p1>Your name:</p1><br>
<input type="text" name="fullname" value="<?php echo $fullname; ?>" required><br><br>

</form>
<?php
if(isset($_POST['fullname']) && $_POST['fullname'] != "" && !empty($_POST['fullname'])) {
echo "Hi " . $name . ".<br>";
}
else{
echo "Please enter a name....";
}
if($_POST['email'] && $_POST['email'] != "" && $_POST['email']) {
echo "Your email is " . $email . ".<br>";
}
else{
echo "Please enter a email address.";
}
if(isset($_POST['feedback']) && $_POST['feedback'] != "") {
echo "Your feedback is:" . $_POST['feedback'] . "<br>";
}
else{
echo "No feedback.";
