title: PHP isn't properly inputting MySql data
body: <p>I've been attempting to place a simple entry into MySql with PHP, I've been trying to learn this with no avail and my database is solid. I'm just trying to see what is wrong with my syntax, any help is much appreciated. When I run it within the terminal it runs properly, admittedly I'm very new to this and am only trying to get some insight into what is wrong with this. I've been messing with this for so long and am not getting anywhere.</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;?php
  $link = mysqli_connect(Minion, "Chris", "Password", ZooProject);
      if (!link) {
          echo "error";
          exit;
      }
      mysqli_query("INSERT INTO Animals (animal_id, name, breed_id, sex, Origional_Place, info, birth_date) VALUES ('2','Chris','1','M','idk','test','2000-02-02')");
  
  mysqli_close($link);
  ?&gt;

  <p>I've been looking into the documentation for a while and am just not getting what I need from it when I use the errno command I get an error 0 and I'm on PHP 7.0</p>
