I know nothing about PHP, but aren't you missing a terminating ";" after your $id assignment?
(and I won't get into what others have pointed out already, including the posting rules...)

I got a 14 inches windows tablet, and it just hit me this morning that I could take note with it! 
(well, it just hit me yesterday that I could do the same with my eInk tablet! ^^)
Anyway, any app recommendation for taking notes?
(I mean using the pen to write or doodle, not the keyboard to type)
EDIT
Just tried OneNote.. it ain't too bad!

I used to use Microsoft OneNote for my handwritten notes but then I was forced to stop using Microsoft Windows (had to convert to Linux) and there is no OneNote here with handwriting capabilities.
So I search for long and now I have been using Stylus Labs Write[^] for years (on both Linux and android).
The good:
- it works in Windows, Linux, mac, IOS and Android
- has pressure sensitivity if your pen supports it (on any OS)
- the file format is just a HTML file with one SVG per page so it is easy to convert to another program if it ever gets to that point
The bad:
- it only supports pen input, you can not even write text with the keyboard
- no fancy functionality like OCR (but with such open file format you can always use an external program to scan the SVGs)
- they do not update it very often (but I never had an error while using it)
- not open source (if you are a purist)
If you intend to use it on multiple devices like I do, it is just a matter of syncing the folder throughout your devices taking care that the sync completes before you edit any file on another device since the program is not "sync aware". Personally, I have it syncing to my private nextcloud server.

I think there is a sort of message here.. something about slant.co...
Actually... I got one not on my phone (which is an Android/Linux), and they all sync together.. 
Good point here!

I just click the button on the end, and it brings up Microsoft Whiteboard (I think that is the default operation).
It's pretty basic, but drawing, writing ... it works for me. It doesn't have OCR, but with my handwriting, that's a bonus ...

My (Microsoft) Surface Pen has a "pointy bit" which is pressure sensitive, and acts as the left mouse button, a button on the side near the tip that is the right mouse button, and a button on the "blunt end" that opens Whiteboard and Snip.

haha, it all became clear!
- I don't have a surface, I have a Lenovo tablet (quite thin and long battery life and 14")
- my pen doesn't have a back button
- I didn't have Whiteboard installed
Thanks for the detailed info though. And installing Whiteboard now!

There are many apps available that you can use. Apps are available in Paid and Free versions. In the free version you are having True Paper Feel, Pro Drawing Tool, Take Control of PDFs, Multipurpose Inking, etc. And if you are looking for Paid Apps then Write Music With Ease, Infinite Canvas, etc.

been here done that.
The best app overall is OneNote. Butttttttt it doesn't work with Linux except the web version which "works" sort of. But it does work.
2nd best overall is an App called Joplin. Joplin[^] It just works every where but doesn't support Pen input. To get around that on Linux just use Xournal that app is built only for pen and outputs to svg or png or pretty much whatever you want. Then place the resulting file into the Joplin file.
Trust me on this. Joplin is the next go to app in notetaking. Very very well thought out. Nearly as good or better than OneNote in so many respects.
I see others have mentioned lots of other apps. They work but they all have some sort of fatal flaw in my opinion. Like they don't work on all my systems. (I currently run Linux, Winders, Android) or the integration with other apps or reminders/emails don't work.
just my opinion. Take it for what it is worth (not much)

I use OneNote for all my work related notes and the notebooks are located on the cloud which is nice. I can access them from any device.
I have been using Evernote for my personal notes. Paid version allows you to access them from any device. I also have been using OneNote. -- My dilemma is that I like both; they both have features the other does not that I like. Now only if I could find one that has everything I like.  I know, I know, roll my own. No thank you.

I found OneNote to be actually pretty darn amazing, including handwriting recognition. It is IMHO on the large side of feature sets, meaning getting familiar with it is quite the chore.

If you're considering trying it again, OneNote has a web version (works well with any chromium based browser)

Your handwriting must be a lot better than  mine.
I would take a note then not be able to read it!

OneNote is nice and sweet on the surface, but a p.i.t.a. to maintain when it grows.
Notebooks are tied-in to your OneDrive in an awkward way, the book structures are very easy to scale up but very tedious to scale down, and you get encouraged to write long pages with different content types, but that makes the entire thing difficult to sort through when you need something specific.
I recommend Sticky Notes instead.
It's like OneNote, but with notes instead of pages, and a heavy emphasis on "let's search through the pile when you need something specific, don't worry about structure".
Overall, it scales better because it has less parts to maintain.

Agreed! I wonder if this telescope can suffer similar focus issues as Hubble?

NASA did finally figure out what caused Hubble's focus issues. The mirror didn't drop to temperature in the way anticipated. JSWT has 18 mirror segments, each of which can be individually focused, specifically to avoid the same issues has Hubble.

Exactly, it's not as though it can be fixed.
