How can PHP be used to automatically populate a table with user information from a registration form, while excluding passwords?
To automatically populate a table with user information from a registration form in PHP, excluding passwords, you can use the $_POST superglobal to retrieve the form data and insert it into the database using SQL queries. Make sure to exclude the password field when inserting the data into the table.
// Assuming connection to database is already established
// Retrieve form data
$username = $_POST['username'];
$email = $_POST['email'];
// Insert data into table, excluding password
$sql = "INSERT INTO users (username, email) VALUES ('$username', '$email')";
if(mysqli_query($conn, $sql)) {
echo "Records inserted successfully.";
} else {
echo "Error: " . $sql . "<br>" . mysqli_error($conn);
}
// Close connection
mysqli_close($conn);
