Data not getting stored in database but no error - php

Question

Hello I wrote the following code
PHP
<?php
try{$bdd = new PDO('mysql:host=localhost;dbname=test', 'root', '');}
catch (Exception $e){die('Error: ' . $e->getMessage());}
$req = $bdd->prepare('insert into signup
(email, password, service, phone)
values(:email, :password, :service, :phone_number) ');
$req->execute(array(
'email' => htmlspecialchars($_POST['email']),
'password' => htmlspecialchars($_POST['password']),
'service' => htmlspecialchars($_POST['service']),
'phone_number' => htmlspecialchars($_POST['phone_number'])));
echo 'Well done';
print_r($_POST);
?>
I have a "Well done" message and
Array ( [email] => test#test.test [password] => test[confirm_password] => test[service] => pizza [phone_number] => 01234 )
when I execute my code. But nothing in my DB.
Where is my mistake?

You are only catching an exception if connection fails, not when actually inserting using execute. Either use two # try/catch, or expand the scope of your try & move your catch.
<?php
try
{
$bdd = new PDO('mysql:host=localhost;dbname=test', 'root', '');
$req = $bdd->prepare('insert into signup
(email, password, service, phone)
values(:email, :password, :service, :phone_number) ');
$req->execute(array(
'email' => htmlspecialchars($_POST['email']),
'password' => htmlspecialchars($_POST['password']),
'service' => htmlspecialchars($_POST['service']),
'phone_number' => htmlspecialchars($_POST['phone_number'])));
echo 'Well done';
print_r($_POST);
}
catch (Exception $e)
{
die('Error: ' . $e->getMessage());
}
?>
