help?, can someone help me please?

You don't have any conditionals checking to see if the submit button was pressed. Try adding

if (isset($_POST['submit'])) {
  // Code here
}

Finding errors in your code is a lot easier when it's cleaner code. Define connection credentials once and then use them as needed... don't redefine db/username/password etc each time you submit a query. You could cut 20+ lines of code just by doing this.
