I Googled "how to handle error messages in php" for your co-founder and came up with this http://www.w3schools.com/php/php_error.asp, since clicking on the "Get an invite" button (on https://framebase.io) while leaving the email field blank throws an exception error:

Error: exception 'Exception' with message 'MDB2 Error: null value violates not-null constraint, _doQuery: [Error message: Could not execute statement] [Last executed query: EXECUTE MDB2_STATEMENT_mysql_8edec1a3e8682362d38c86df48ba2cd8 USING @0, @1] [Native code: 1048] [Native message: Column 'email' cannot be null]

...thought that might help

You should have googled 'how to validate required fields before passing them to SQL because someone will click the button without having added an email...'
