I have a software madeup of php and mysql , what do weed to process the HTML form into database with php software ? any help is appreceated.

You mean add the stuff entered from the form into a database?

If so, easy.

for your html.

<form action="page.php" method="post">
<input type="text" name="Name">
<input type="text" name="Email">
<input type="submit" value="Submit">
</form>

for page.php

PHP Code:

<?php

// Connect to database

$con = mysql_connect('localhost', 'mysql_user', 'mysql_password');
if (!$con) {
    die(mysql_error());
}

// variables



$name = $_POST['Name'];

$email = $_POST['Email'];



// add to database.

mysql_select_db("mysql_db", $con);     mysql_query("INSERT INTO details (Name, Email) 
VALUES ('$name', '$email')");mysql_close($con);

The above way will work fine.

However, I tend to prefer to use the following MySQL query instead as it just seems slightly easier - you can see exactly what it doing what:

PHP Code:

mysql_query("INSERT INTO details SET Name='$name',Email='$email'"); 


It's only a slight difference but you can see exactly what you are putting into each field in the database

I never knew that, haha. Thanks for that, I'll be using that much more in future.

By the way, i'm still new to php, so i'm proud of the code I posted above

No problem. I'm still fairly new to PHP too in fact
