The code is for inserting data from an HTML form into a MySQL database. And it works properly on local host. But fails to execute insert query when running on server. The code is given below:

The code is properly connected with the database and configured properly as the same header files are being used in other parts of the code and those codes are working properly.
I was trying to insert the datas from the form to the database table. It worked properly when I ran it locally using XAMPP but once uploaded to the server shows data not inserted. Specifically the below part of the code:
if ($count2 == 0) {
$receiver = $row1['author_email'];
$subject = "Payment Form Submission";
$body = '<p>Your payment form is successfully submitted. You will get confirmation mail when our admin will approve your payment status.</p>';
$send_mail = send_mail($receiver, $subject, $body);
// if (!$send_mail) {
// echo "<p class='text-danger text-bold text-center fs-5 mt-3'>Email is not sent yet!</p>";
// }
$insert_sql = "INSERT INTO `payment_form`(`paper_id`,`paper_title`,`track`,`author_name`,`author_address`,`author_country`,`author_category`,`phone_number`,`payment_form_image`,`captcha`) VALUES('$paper_id','$paper_title','$track','$author_name','$author_address','$author_country','$author_category','$phone','$payment_form_image_name','$captcha')";
$run_insert_qry = mysqli_query($conn, $insert_sql);
if ($run_insert_qry) {
move_uploaded_file($payment_form_image_tmp_name, 'Images/payment_form_images/' . $payment_form_image_name);
echo '<script>
alert("A Mail is sent to your email address");
</script>';
echo "<p class='text-success text-bold text-center fs-5 mt-3'>Form is successfully submitted</p>";
} else {
// the code shows this message on web server and shows no value for run_insert_query
echo "<p class='text-danger text-bold text-center fs-5 mt-3'>No data is inserted</p>";
}
} else {
echo "<p class='text-danger text-bold text-center fs-5 mt-3'>Form is already submitted</p>";
}
I have tried to change the order of the code and form. I have tried turning off captcha but so far nothing is working. I need to know why it doesn’t work on webserver and how I can fix it? And is there any difference between how insert queries work on XAMPP vs on a webserver.
