I am building an online system which a student can request for his or her transcript, I have been able to get hold of the information which will be passed to the database to fetch the result of that particular person using the superglobal $_REQUEST , my form action is Post and the student is to provide his Registration number eg: 300621713096, his first and last name eg Anthony Joshua and the Semesters he is requesting transcript eg: level 100 semester 1 . this is my code when I run it tells me data query failed , I want to know is
<?php
session_start();
require_once 'dbconnect.php';
$Reg_number = $_REQUEST['Reg_number'];
$first_name = $_REQUEST['first_name'];
$last_name = $_REQUEST['last_name'];
$requestsem = $_REQUEST['requestsem'];
$Currentsem = $_REQUEST['Currentsem'];
?>
