I am trying to write data to the database after authentication but cannot succeed.
Once successfully logged in, I will redirect to index.php
<?php
session_start();
if (isset($_SESSION["user_id"])) {
$mysqli = require __DIR__ . "/database.php";
$sql = "SELECT * FROM user
WHERE id = {$_SESSION["user_id"]}";
$result = $mysqli->query($sql);
$user = $result->fetch_assoc();
}
?>

<?php if (isset($user)): ?>
<p>Hello <?= htmlspecialchars($user["name"]) ?></p>
<form action="user-input.php" method="post" id="availDates">
<label for="nickName">Nickname:</label>
<input id="nickName" name="nickname" />
<label for="startDate">Start Date:</label>
<input type="date" id="startDate" name="startdate">
<button type="submit">Submit</button>
</form>
<p><a href="logout.php">Log out</a></p>
<?php else: ?>
<p><a href="login.php">Log in</a> or <a href="signup.html">sign up</a></p>
<?php endif; ?>
</body>
</html>
From here, I want to capture a name and a date and submit it, but after each submission, I view it in phpmyadmin and the table cells are blank. I'm using xampp to run locally. Here is the code I am trying to capture input from the form:
<?php
if (empty($_POST["nickname"])) {
die("Name is required");
}
if (empty($_POST["date"])) {
die("Name is required");
}
$mysqli = require __DIR__ . "/database.php";
$sql = "INSERT INTO user (nickname) VALUES (?)";
$stmt = $mysqli->stmt_init();
if ( ! $stmt->prepare($sql)) {
die("SQL error: " . $mysqli->error);
}
$stmt->bind_param("sss", $_POST["name"]);
if ($stmt->execute()) {
echo "successful";
} else {
if ($mysqli->errno === 1062) {
die("error");
} else {
die($mysqli->error . " " . $mysqli->errno);
}
}
Any help would be greatly appreciated

The form data has a
nameattribute with the values "nickname" and "startdate". I guess you should use them correctly to build insert queries like$_POST["nickname"]and$_POST["startdate"]If you still have problems, please post the full error log for debugging.
