php - Record is added but category id is 0 in mysql database -


this code when submit button clicked; adds records in database, category id 0; although there categories in category table

 $db = new database();   $query = "select * categories";  $categories = $db->select($query);  if (isset($_post['submit'])) {  //assign variables   $title = mysqli_real_escape_string ($db->link,$_post['title']);   $body = mysqli_real_escape_string ($db->link,$_post['body']);   $category = mysqli_real_escape_string($db->link,$_post['category']);   $author = mysqli_real_escape_string ($db->link,$_post['author']);   $tags = mysqli_real_escape_string ($db->link,$_post['tags']);   //validate not empty      if ($title == '' || $body == '' || $category = '' || $author == '' || tags == '') {        $error = 'please fill out fields';      }     else {         $query = "insert posts (title,body,category,author,tags)            values ('$title', '$body', '$category', '$author', '$tags')" ;        $insert_row = $db->insert($query); } } 

this html block issue:

 <div class="form-group">  <label>category</label>   <select name="category" class="form-control">   <?php while($row = $categories->fetch_assoc()) : ?>   <option value="<?php echo $row['id'];?>"><?php echo $row['name'];?> </option>          <?php endwhile; ?>    </select>    </div> 

check if using auto_increment on category.id (or named.)

if yes, can check status of auto_increment with:

select auto_increment information_schema.tables table_name = 'categories' , table_schema = database( ) ; 

or

show table status 'categories' 

(btw can reset auto_increment field with:

alter table categories auto_increment = 100; 

but thinking don't have auto_increment there @ all.)
