I am trying to process a form which will insert data into database, but it is inserting nothing in database. I am trying this for a couple of days, but got no solution. It is also not showing any error also.
<?php
if(isset($_POST['submit'])){
$generic_drug_name = $_POST['generic_drug_name'];
$brand_drug_name = $_POST['brand_drug_name'];
$manufacturer_name = $_POST['manufacturer_name'];
$type = $_POST['type'];
$price = $_POST['price'];
}else{
$generic_drug_name = '';
$brand_drug_name = '';
$manufacturer_name = '';
$type = '';
$price = '';
}
$errors = '';
$errors['generic_drug_nameErr'] = '';
$errors['brand_drug_nameErr'] = '';
$errors['manufacturer_nameErr'] = '';
$errors['typeErr'] = '';
$errors['priceErr'] = '';

This code is also not showing any error....so that's why I can't tell you what's wrong here.......but when I put
if(!empty($errors)){
instead of
if(empty($errors)){
This works - it should not work, right? Because it will take any data and insert it into database.
ini_set("display_errors",1); error_reporting(E_ALL);on top of the page.
