Your code isn't working because you are saving a model without passing
any attributes to it.
form = model.Register() # This isn't a form. It's a model
form.save()
This will create an empty model, and then when you save it, try to write
that empty model to the database, which will work only if all the fields
are nullable, and will give you a model object with all fields null,
except the primary key, which is automatically populated.
Instead you need to do something like this:
form = model.Register(names=request.POST['names'])
form.save()
But really, you should use django's ModelForm, and let django do the
heavy lifting for you. The django docs can get you started.
