php undefined variable: host,初学php，请问如何解决 Undefined variable这个错误？

本地环境：macos+xampp+php7

创建了 2 个文件 demo.php and demo-form.php ，放在 xampp/htdocs/simpleform 目录下

demo.php 的代码为：

<?php

/**

* Created by PhpStorm.

* User: sulayman

* Date: 2019/7/8

* Time: 8:37 PM

*/

define('DB_NAME', 'form1');

define('DB_USER', 'root');

define('DB_PASSWORD', '');

define('DB_HOST', 'localhost');

$link = mysqli_connect(DB_HOST,DB_USER,DB_PASSWORD);

mysql_query("set names 'utf8'");

if(!$link){

die('could not connect:'.mysqli_error($link));

}

$db_selected = mysqli_select_db($link, DB_NAME);

if(!$db_selected){

die('cannot use'.DB_NAME.':'.mysqli_error($link));

}

//echo "you conneted the database successfully";

//

//

//

// $value = $_POST["input1"];

if (isset($_POST['input1'])) {

$value = $_POST['input1'];

}

$sql = "INSERT INTO demo(input1) VALUES ('.$value.')";

if (!mysqli_query($link,$sql)){

die('error:'.mysqli_error($link));

}

mysqli_close($link);

demo-form.php 的代码为：

<form action = "demo.php" method = "post" >

<p> Input 1:</p> <input type="text" name="input1">

<input type="submit" value="submit">

</form>

phpmyadmin 的配置

如何解决这个错误：

Notice: Undefined variable: value in /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/htdocs/simpleform/demo.php on line 37

37行的代码为：

$sql = “INSERT INTO demo(input1) VALUES (‘$value’)”;
