The following mysqli query does not execute, since I check my 'users' table and it does not contain any records:
//connection.php//
$db_connect = mysqli_connect('myremotehost', 'myremoteuser', 'mypass', 'mydatabase');
if(mysqli_connect_errno($db_connect)){
echo mysqli_connect_error();
exit();
}
//
include 'database/connection.php';
$username = $_POST['username'];
$password = md5($_POST['password']);
$email = $_POST['email'];
$email_code = md5($_POST['username'] + microtime());
$gender = $_POST['gender'];
$ip = getenv('REMOTE_ADDR');
$sql = "INSERT INTO `users` (username, password, email, email_code, gender, ip, signup, lastlogin, notescheck) VALUES('$username','$password','$email','$email_code','$gender','$ip',NOW(),NOW(),NOW())";
$query = mysqli_query($db_connect, $sql);
//below are the forms with their respective 'input names' that are equal to: username, email and gender (values 'm' & 'f').
//The action of the actual form is action="" this file.
I know that this code executes since directly below the $sql and $query variables I have some other code that creates a folder in the /users/ directory upon execution, and whenever I check my online directory it does get created, but again, the problem is that the query does not post anything on the database.
Any suggestions?
Thanks guys!
