<h3>Add new Task</h3>
</head>
<body>

<form method="post" action="task.php">

              <p>

<?php
$db_hostname="localhost";
$db_database="music";
$db_username="root";
$db_password="p3";

if(isset($_POST['submit']))
{
    if(empty($_POST['name']))
      die("Error : Task name is required");
    $name=$_POST['name'];
    if(empty($_POST['date']))
     die("Error : Please enter a valid date");

$task_date = $_POST['date'];

    if(empty($_POST['priority']))
     die("Error : Please select a priority");
    $priority=$_POST['priority'];

$db_server=mysql_connect($db_hostname,$db_username,$db_password);
if(!$db_server)
  {
    die("Error:unable to connect to server");
  }
else 
    echo "Connected to server";

mysql_select_db($db_database)

    or die("Error:unable to connect to database");
    echo "</br>Connected to $db_database database";
  $task_date = date('Y-m-d');
echo $task_date;
$insert_query=mysql_query("Insert into task(name,due,priority)values('$name','$task_date','$priority'))");

if(($insert_query)==TRUE)
{   
    echo "<br/>";
    echo "New Task inserted ";
}
