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 have three files I am working with, index.php, conn.php and new.php. index.php and new.php are located in the same folder but conn.php is one directory below. index.php:
<!DOCTYPE html>

I would appreciate any, thanks
mysqli_error($conn)or any error reporting done.$DOB = input($_POST["DOB_year"] + "/" + $_POST["DOB_months"] + "/" + $_POST["DOB_day"]);are you doing math? I doubt it.
