Saving Form data from custom block

Permalink
Hello y'all,
I have been working on a custom block that saves events. It is apart of a event creation and attendance system that I am making and I am having trouble capturing the data that the user inputs from the form displayed in the block and saving it to my database table. So I need some pointers... Here is my code:

controller.php
<?php
   defined('C5_EXECUTE') or die("Access Denied.");
   class DuasNewEventBlockController extends BlockController {
      protected $btTable = "btDuasEvents";
      protected $btInterfaceWidth = "350";
      protected $btInterfaceHeight = "350";
      public function getBlockTypeDescription() {
         return t("This is a block to create events");
      }
      public function getBlockTypeName() {
         return t("DUAS - New Event");
      }
      public function save($data){
         parent::save($data);
      }

view.php
<?php defined('C5_EXECUTE') or die("Access Denied."); ?>
<?php
   print_r($_POST);
   $form = Loader::helper('form');
?>
   <form method="post" action="<?php echo $this->action('form_save_event', '#new_event_'.$controller->bID)?>">
   <?php
      echo "<h2>" . t('Create a new event —') . $u->getUserID();
      echo '<h2>'.t('Event name').'</h2>';
      echo $form->text("event_name", $event_name);
      echo '<h2>'.t('Event type').'</h2>';
      echo $form->select('event_type', array('manditory' => 'Manditory', 'voluntary' => 'Voluntary'), 'manditory');
      echo '<h2>'.t("Event Date").'</h2>';
      echo $form->text("event_date", date('Y-m-d H:i:s'));
      echo $form->hidden('bro_id', $u->getUserID());

Here is the XML DB file:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<schema version="0.3">
    <table name="btDuasEvents">
          <field name="bID" type="I">
             <key></key>
             <unsigned></unsigned>
          </field>
        <field name="event_name" type="C" size="45"></field>
        <field name="event_type" type="C" size="45"></field>
        <field name="event_date" type="T"></field>
        <field name="bro_id" type="I"></field>
