django - data's are not saving in database -

i using following code in views.py

def when(request):     log.debug("test....")      reportform = reportform()     if request.method == 'post':         if reportform.is_valid():             log.debug("test:%s",reportform)             reportform = reportform.save()      return render_to_response('incident/when.html',{'newreport_menu': true,     'form': reportform },context_instance=requestcontext(request)) 

my template is

{{ form.manual_date_time }}      <p id=ir-nextbutn><a href="{% url incident.views.media %}">      <form action="/member/media/" method="post"> {% csrf_token %}     {% include "buttons/next.html" %}       </form> 

models.py

class report(models.model):    user = models.foreignkey(user, null=false)     incident_number = models.charfield('incident number', max_length=100)     device_id = models.charfield('device id', max_length=100)     app_uuid = models.charfield('unique app id', max_length=100)     created_date_time = models.datetimefield('created')     manual_date_time = models.datetimefield('another time', null=true, blank=true)     sent_date_time = models.datetimefield('sent')     incident_description = models.textfield('incident description', null=true, blank=true) 

here saving date time field in database.after entering time , date in field if user clicks next button save , goes next page.but not storing data.i using mysql db.

you not applying data form cannot vaild.

def when(request):      if request.method == 'post':         # form post'ed data         reportform = reportform(             data=request.post,         )          if reportform.is_valid():             log.debug("test:%s",reportform)             reportform = reportform.save()             # should redirect different page @ point             # avoid double post'ing , saving             redirect_to = request.post.get(                 'next',                 reverse('name-of-url-defined-in-your-urls.py')             )             return httpresponseredirect(redirect_to)         else:             # check errors, *should* appear when form rendered             pass     else:         # blank form, no data         reportform = reportform()      return render_to_response(         'incident/when.html',         {             'newreport_menu': true,              'form': reportform,         },         context_instance=requestcontext(request)     ) 

update:

additionally form not encompassed within form tags. , "next" button needs input or button type="submit"

<form action="/member/media/" method="post"> {% csrf_token %}     <input name="next" type="hidden" value="{{ url_to_redirect_to }}"/>     {{ form }}     <input type="submit" name="save" value="save"/>         or     <button type="submit">save</button> </form> 

side note:

you add auto_now_add=true created_date_time avoid having set , stop being edited , appearing in modelforms

created_date_time = models.datetimefield('created', auto_now_add=true,)
