Date insertion to php table via php failing - php

Question

i have a cart displayed and the user has to select the date of delivery from the calendar widget and click on Confirm button. on submit, the order cart should be populated along with the entered date of delivery.
the code i used is:
<?php
echo "<form action='' name='form1' >";
//some disaply codes here
echo "Choose the Date of delivery<input type='date' name='date'>";
echo "<input type='submit' class='btn btn-default' name='final_submission' value ='Confirm Order'>";
echo "</form>";
?>
the code for insertion is:
<?php
if (isset($_POST['final_submission'])){
error_reporting(E_ALL);
ini_set('display_errors', 1);
$IP="my localhost";
$USER="my user name";
$conn=mysqli_connect($IP,$USER,"","my database name");
if (mysqli_connect_errno()) {
echo "Failed to connect to MySQL: " . mysqli_connect_error();
}
$date = stripslashes($_POST['date']);
$result=mysqli_query($conn, $query);
$query="select * from cart";
while($row = mysqli_fetch_array($result)) {
$us_id=$row['user_id'];
$pr_id=$row['prod_id'];
$qtty=$row['quantity'];
$query_insert = "insert into orders(user_id, prod_id, quantity, dt_del) values('.$us_id.',
'.$pr_id.', '.$qtty.','.$date.')";
$res_ins=mysqli_query($conn,$query_insert);
}
}
?>

EDIT: the orders table is getting poplulated, but the del date field is coming blank...Please let me know how to pass the date variable correctly, as clearly that is the issue

I am not sure what you are trying to attempt to be honest. Your code blocks lacks a lot of stuff. For instance:
$query="select * from cart";
while($row = mysqli_fetch_array($result)) {
What results? Where do you define them? Are that results from the query you specified there, cause surely you aint executing it. Thus the result will be 0 and will not be executed.
Also the problem is with this query it will go through every row of the cart, this means also you ll grab carts that aint belonging to your costumer, specify.
So your code should be something like
$query="select * from cart";
$result = mysqli_query($conn,$query);
while($row=mysqli_fetch_array($result)){
// yadi yadi yadi .. code code code

Let me try to rework this out for you with propper indenting.
if (isset($_POST['final_submission'])){ // check if the button is correct
// error_reporting(E_ALL); <-- canceling this out for now
// ini_set('display_errors', 1); <-- canceling this out for now
$IP="my localhost";
$USER="my user name";
$conn=mysqli_connect($IP,$USER,"","my database name");
if (mysqli_connect_errno()) {
echo "Failed to connect to MySQL: " . mysqli_connect_error();
}
$date = stripslashes($_POST['date']);
if (empty($date) || $date == ''){
echo 'the date is not set, please check if parameter is filled in';
} else { // if it wont pass this point, you wont get an enormous output of unidentified indexes
$query="select * from cart";
$result=mysqli_query($conn, $query);
while($row = mysqli_fetch_array($result)) {
$us_id=$row['user_id'];
$pr_id=$row['prod_id'];
$qtty=$row['quantity'];
$date = stripslashes($_POST['date']); // just to play it safe define it again
if (empty($date) || $date == ''){
echo 'something went wrong with the date';
}else{
$query_insert = "insert into orders(user_id, prod_id, quantity, dt_del) values('.$us_id.','.$pr_id.', '.$qtty.','.$date.')";
$res_ins=mysqli_query($conn,$query_insert);
}
}
}
}
