PHP to Mysql Database Not taking data

Hello Everyone configuring a opencart site and I need a little help to figure out what im missing and why the data wont upload into the database.

So I have my four files My Controller My Model My Language My View

Please note these are only parts of the files as im sure you will see but they are the only parts that deal with the section im working on.

\\**Controller File**////// public function transaction() { $this->load->language('sale/customer');

    $this->load->model('sale/customer');

    if (($this->request->server['REQUEST_METHOD'] == 'POST') && $this->user->hasPermission('modify', 'sale/customer')) {
        $this->model_sale_customer->addTransaction($this->request->get['customer_id'], $this->request->post['description'], $this->request->post['amount']);

        $data['success'] = $this->language->get('text_success');
    } else {
        $data['success'] = '';
    }

    if (($this->request->server['REQUEST_METHOD'] == 'POST') && !$this->user->hasPermission('modify', 'sale/customer')) {
        $data['error_warning'] = $this->language->get('error_permission');
    } else {
        $data['error_warning'] = '';
    }

    $data['text_no_results'] = $this->language->get('text_no_results');
    $data['text_balance'] = $this->language->get('text_balance');

    $data['column_date_added'] = $this->language->get('column_date_added');
    $data['column_given'] = $this->language->get('column_given');
    $data['column_from'] = $this->language->get('column_from');
    $data['column_description'] = $this->language->get('column_description');
    $data['column_amount'] = $this->language->get('column_amount');

    if (isset($this->request->get['page'])) {
        $page = $this->request->get['page'];
    } else {
        $page = 1;
    }

    $data['transactions'] = array();

    $results = $this->model_sale_customer->getTransactions($this->request->get['customer_id'], ($page - 1) * 10, 10);

    foreach ($results as $result) {
        $data['transactions'][] = array(
            'amount'      => $this->currency->format($result['amount'], $this->config->get('config_currency')),
            'given'       => $result['given'],
            'from'        => $result['from'],
            'description' => $result['description'],
            'date_added'  => date($this->language->get('date_format_short'), strtotime($result['date_added']))
        );
    }

\\\****Model File***//////

public function addTransaction($customer_id, $description = '', $amount = '', $given = '', $order_id = 0) { $customer_info = $this->getCustomer($customer_id);

    if ($customer_info) {
        $this->db->query("INSERT INTO " . DB_PREFIX . "customer_transaction SET customer_id = '" . (int)$customer_id . "', order_id = '" . (int)$order_id .

Can someone see why the input from given and from on the admin side would not be accepted into the database??

Any help appreciated
