iPhone 5 won't charge

I can't get my iPhone to charge, the battery has been drained all the way to 0%, so the phone is basically unusable right now. Anyone have any ideas on how to fix this? I have googled it, but no luck so far. Was hoping someone here may have some insight.

Bad cord?

When you plug in the charger, what does the phone do? Does it make a tone or even recognize that the charger is plugged in?
Not trying to be a jerk here but have you checked the obvious-the charger is plugged in on the other end?
If you're using one of those little "ice cubes" as I call them, the wall chargers, try plugging the phone directly into your computer and see if it charges that way.
Maybe the cord itself is messed up.

Good advice on checking the cord first. I have three lightning chargers just in case.
Next step could be as simple as replacing the battery. Have you dropped your phone recently or done anything while the phone was plugged in that the receiver may have been damaged and can't receive a charge. Very unlikely though

Or maybe there is nothing wrong with the CORD and the CABLE is bad.

Get a known good lightning cable and plug it into the wall charger and leave the phone alone for a couple of hours. If the battery drains all the way down to 0%, sometimes it takes a while before the phone responds to anything.

:ducking:
HERE IT COMES
Get an Android, after working on my mothers ipad and Iphone I just don't understand why so many people are Apple sheep. The Android does so much more and does it better. Apple products seem like technology for dummies, so basic and so limited.

Sounds like a bad cord.
Make sure its an Apple Iphone 5 cord, not a knock off. The update to the newest iOS made it so the phone can detect whether or not the cord is official. If it isn't from Apple then it will almost never work. Also, I've come to find that putting just the cable into a different usb transformer to outlet other than the provided one from Apple will burn your cables out rather quickly.

50 to 1 it's the cord, the part where the wire hooks to the little quick connect closest to the phone
