Hey i want to create a minichat just as exercise but for some reason it A) goes to a seperate page after i hit Send and doesnt return and B) does NOT post anything nor does it save anything to the database. Minichat form his here:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Mini-Chat</title>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<style>
form
{
text-align: center;
}
</style>
<body>
<form action="minichat-post.php" method ="post">
<p>
<label for="username">Username</label> : <input type="text" name="username" id="username"/><br>
<label for="message">Message</label> : <input type="text" name="message" id="message"/><br>
<input type="submit" value="Send"/>
</p>
</form>
<?php
try
{
$bdd = new PDO('mysql:host=localhost;dbname=minichat', 'root', '');
}
catch(Exception $e)
{
die('Error :'.$e->getMessage());
}
$response = $bdd->query('SELECT username, message FROM minichat ORDER BY ID DESC LIMIT 0, 10');
while ($data = $response->fetch())
{
echo '<p><strong>' . htmlspecialchars($data['username']) . '</strong> : ' . htmlspecialchars($data['message']) . '</p>';
}
$response->closeCursor();
?>
</body>
</html>
Here is the Post form:
<?php
try
{
$bdd = new PDO('mysql:host=localhost;dbname=minichat', 'root', '');
}
catch(Exception $e)
{
die('Error :'.$e->getMessage());
}
$req = $bdd->prepare('INSERT INTO minichat (username, message VALUES (?, ?)');
$req->execute(array($_POST['username'], $_POST['message']));
header('Location: mini-chat.php');
?>
in my PHP DB i got a 2 fields, username and message, i added a new one saying ID but that did not help either.
