I am making a form which will input details into a mysql database.
I have one problem. I have used the "required" attribute in my html form, but still everytime I load the page it gives an entry into the database (even though the fields are empty).
This is the code (php):
<!DOCTYPE html>
<?php
$cnn = mysqli_connect("localhost", "root", "abc123", "usercake");
// Check connection
if (mysqli_connect_errno($cnn)) {
echo "Failed to connect to MySQL: " . mysqli_connect_error();
}
$firstname = $_POST['firstname'];
$surname = $_POST['surname'];
$qry = "INSERT INTO usercake.huffaz (country) VALUES ('$_POST[country]')";
mysqli_query($cnn, $qry)
?>
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
<title></title>
</head>
<body>
<form action="huffaz.php" method="post" >
<fieldset>
<legend>
