Question

For some reason while using PHPMyAdmin and attempting to save a table, even though I’ve entered all of the information I usually do I’m getting an alert box popping up with the content “Missing value in the form!”.

Here’s a screenshot of my PHPMyAdmin console (2 screens merged due to resolution):

PHPMyAdmin Create Table Modal Box

What I’ve tried so far:

• Changing the data types all to VARCHAR with a length of 255 (except for the deindeal_id column, which remained INT with a length of 12).
• Encasing description in “`” (bacticks), thinking it may be a reserved word of some sort.
• Adding a coalition.
• Using different table engines (InnoDB, MyISAM (the one I wanted)).

I’m really stumped as to what could be causing this issue, so any answers would be greatly appreciated!

Answer 1

Got the same error, probably a Bug.

What Lex said: “Maybe if you define a column NOT NULL (ie. don’t check the box in the Null column, you have to define a default value? – Lex 20 hours ago”

• Nope. Doesn’t work either and wouldn’t make much sense. If you don’t define a default value, the server will either insert an empty string, or fail the query; depending on settings.
