when ever i hit the add button it just basically refreashes the page and doesnt add ne thing into the db.

with enctype="text/plain" nothing gets posted.

[ccrevcypsys]

I even changed it to multipart/form-data

[Barand]

I removed the enctype completely and the query attempted to execute.

 

With the text/plain it told me $_POST['name'] was undefined when I submitted the data

Try changing the form action

<form action="" method="post">

to the name of the script.

enctype = content-type [CI]

This attribute specifies the content type used to submit the form to the server (when the value of method is "post"). The default value for this attribute is "application/x-www-form-urlencoded". The value "multipart/form-data" should be used in combination with the INPUT element, type="file".

[Barand]

default action is "itself"
