I am using an HTML page in Django's Views as well as other helper functions in Views to take data from form fields in the HTML page and send them to one of the Models databases through Django.
This is all done off of my local host. I'm basing what I'm doing off of this solution.
When I hard code an entry and send it from views to models, there are no issues.
When I try to take data from the HTML field and then send it, I get a code 200, but when I log into the admin panel and try to access the database causes the local host server to crash, and the data is not entered into the table. Below is my code:
Views Functions for getting and sending table entry to Models
def addCharacter(sUserID, sPlayerName, sRace, sPlayerClass, sStr, sCon, sDex, sInt, sWis, sCha):
from pathfinder.models import characterTable
c = characterTable(userID = sUserID, playerName = sPlayerName, race = sRace, playerClass = sPlayerClass, strength = sStr, constitution = sCon, dexterity = sDex, intelligence = sInt, wisdom = sWis, charisma = sCha)
c.save()

def request_page(request):
if(request.GET.get('mybtn')):
userID = 'testUser'
addCharacter(userID, string(request.GET.get('characterName')), string(request.GET.get('race')), string(request.GET.get('class')), string(request.GET.get('characterName')), string(request.GET.get('strength')), string(request.GET.get('dexterity')), string(request.GET.get('constitution')), string(request.GET.get('intelligence')), string(request.GET.get('wisdom')), string(request.GET.get('charisma')))

I'm not sure what's causing the issue, whether it is my Python functions or some internal server issue that's unrelated. I don't understand why it works with a hardcoded table entry, but not with this, as this
[26/Nov/2019 19:50:22] "GET /characterCreator/?characterName=test3&race=human&class=fighter&strength=1&dexterity=2&constitution=3&intelligence=4&wisdom=5&charisma=6&mybtn=Click HTTP/1.1" 200
was returned with code 200 when I go through entry through the webpage. Could it be an issue with my http request?
