Cannot insert data in the database using option(textarea)

Question

I got this code but it is not inserting the content of the option (textarea) into the database.

connection.php

Answer 1

You need to name your select with name=food or something so it will be in $_POST['food']. Each option in the select does not show up in $_POST, only what is selected will be in the name of the select. Each option is not it's own thing.

   foodA
   foodB
   foodC
   foodD
   foodE

When you save the data it will have:

$_POST['food'] with the value of 'foodA' if multiples, it will be 'foodA, foodB'
