Hello everyone,

2 $servername = "localhost";
3 $username = "username";
4 $password = "password";
5 $dbname = "newDB";

7 // Create connection
8 $conn = new mysqli($servername, $username, $password, $dbname);

10 // Check connection
11 if ($conn->connect_error) {
12   die("Connection failed: " . $conn->connect_error);}

14 $firstname = $conn->real_escape_string($_REQUEST['firstname']);
15 $lastname = $conn->real_escape_string($_REQUEST['lastname']);
16 $address = $conn->real_escape_string($_REQUEST['address']);
17 $city = $conn->real_escape_string($_REQUEST['city']);

22 // Attempt insert query execution
23 $sql1 = "INSERT INTO cities VALUES ('$city')";

25 $sql2 = "INSERT INTO countries VALUES ('$country')";

27 $sql3 = "INSERT INTO Contacts (firstname, lastname, address, city, country, phone, email) VALUES ('$firstname', '$lastname', '$address', $city, $country, '$phone_number','$email')";
