title: null values on $_post
body: <p>I'm trying to create a basic input form to record new clients to a MariaDB table but my post results are coming back null.</p>
  
  <p>The form for entry is set as below</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;form class="clientreg" id="NewClient" method="post" action="posttest.php"&gt;
      &lt;label&gt;Client Name:
          &lt;input type="text" name="ClientName" class="LongText"/&gt;
      &lt;/label&gt;
      &lt;label&gt;Bulk Discount: &lt;input type="number" name="Bulk" class="discount"/&gt;&lt;/label&gt;
      &lt;label&gt;Settlement Discount: &lt;input type="number" name="settlement" class="discount"/&gt;&lt;/label&gt;
      &lt;label&gt;Trades Discount: &lt;input type="number" name="Trades" class="discount"/&gt;&lt;/label&gt;
      &lt;input type="submit"/&gt;
  &lt;/form&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p><code>print_r($_POST)</code> returns <code>Array()</code> so the information is not being picked up on submission. I've checked the obvious issues that come up ie no <code>name=' attributes</code> and correct encasing, but I'm at a complete loss</p>
