    print_r($_POST);
    
    if( 'POST' == $_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] ){
        print((isset ($_POST['title1'])));
        // Do some minor form validation to make sure there is content
        if (isset ($_POST['title1'])) {
            $title =  $_POST['title1'];
        } else {
            echo 'fyll i';
        }
        if (isset ($_POST['description'])) {
            $description = $_POST['description'];
        } else {
            echo 'fyll i';
        }
         if (isset ($_POST['message'])) {
            $message = $_POST['message'];
        } else {

Are the $title, $description elsewhere in the code initiated? When the code reached the '$new_post = array' line maybe the variables doesn't exists.

What happens if you set the variables on the top of your code like this:

$title = 'This is my title';
$message = 'This is my message';
$description = 'This is my description';

Does it get saved?
