test submission successful but fields not in DB setup

I think I know the problem now...
You have several errors in your form. When I made some changes to your code I made it stick in the database. This is what I ended up with:

Code:

<dl class="field row" style=" margin-top: 5%; ">
                        <dt class="text"><input type="text" placeholder="Name" required="" id="username" name="username" /></dt>
                        <dd class="msg"><span class="caret"></span>You filled this out wrong.</dd>
                    </dl>
  <dl class="field row">
                        <dt class="text"><input type="text" name="mailid" id="mailid" placeholder="Email - preferably IIT student/ alumni id" required="" /></dt>
                        <dd class="msg"><span class="caret"></span>You filled this out wrong.</dd>
                    </dl>
                    <ul class="field row"  >
                        <li class="picker">
                        <select name="campus" id="campus">
                          <option value="ABC" selected="selected">ABC</option>
                          <option value="XYZ">XYZ</option>
                        </select>
                      
</li>
</ul>

<div class="row centered" style="margin-bottom: 55%">
                        <p class="btn submit"><button type="submit" value="Submit" >Submit</button></p>
                    </div>

I have changed the following:

1. First of all, you have left out the closing "</select>" after your select list. This broke the code entirely.
   
2. Secondly, you didn't specify any option values to your select list.
   
3. Third, I had to give your text fields a "name" attribute to make them work.
   

Now it works for me.
