User input recorded from multiple text boxes and put into MySQL - mysql

Question

I'm running into a brick wall and have spent multiple hours trying to research how to do this and I'm at the point I'm not sure if I'm asking the right question.
I have a page for recording user input in multiple boxes. I've made a separate file for my text box function which feeds into the main page. I want to be able to click next and record all the use input from the text boxes into a MySQL database.
The problem I'm running into seems to be that the main page doesn't know there's user input just that there is a text box, so I can't record anything, while if I change the text input file it defeats the purpose of creating one so that I can use text boxes anywhere.
Main page
import pygame
import Test
import button
import sys
import mysql.connector
pygame.init()
screen = pygame.display.set_mode((800, 600))
pygame.display.set_caption("Main Page")
icon = pygame.image.load('icons8-robber-32.png')
pygame.display.set_icon(icon)
colour_active = pygame.Color('orange')
colour_inactive = pygame.Color('Yellow')
font = pygame.font.Font(None, 32)
start_image = pygame.image.load('play.png').convert_alpha()
exit_image = pygame.image.load('exit.png').convert_alpha()
menu_image = pygame.image.load('menu.png').convert_alpha()
back_image = pygame.image.load('back.png').convert_alpha()
next_image = pygame.image.load('next.png').convert_alpha()
def register():
input_box1 = Test.inputBox(210, 105, 140, 32, "First Name: ")
input_box2 = Test.inputBox(210, 160, 140, 32)
input_boxes = [input_box1, input_box2]
back_button = button.Button(100, 450, back_image, 0.2)
next_button = button.Button(450, 450, next_image, 0.2)
done = False
while not done:
for event in pygame.event.get():
for box in input_boxes:
box.handle_event(event)
for box in input_boxes:
box.update()
screen.fill((30, 30, 30))

box.draw(screen)
if back_button.draw(screen):
print("no")
if next_button.draw(screen):
sys.exit()
pygame.display.update()
start_button = button.Button(100, 150, start_image, 0.2)
exit_button = button.Button(250, 150, exit_image, 0.2)
menu_button = button.Button(400, 150, menu_image, 0.2)
running = True
while running:
for event in pygame.event.get():
if event.type == pygame.QUIT:
running = False
screen.fill((150, 255, 100))

pygame.draw.rect(screen, self.color, self.rect, 2)

Answer 1

You do not need the self.text file in the main code. So instead of writing input_box1.self.text, it was just input_box1.text.
