In your function you are using the variable $connect. This variable is not
in the scope of the function.
You have 2 options you can do this:-
function addPerson ()
{
global $connect
I you change the start of your function to this then you will be able to use
the $connect variable within your function.
The better option however is to do this:-
function addPerson ($connect)
{
and when calling the function do addPerson($connect), this makes the
$connect variable a parameter of the function. The reason the $_POST array
works without doing this is because they are already global.
