script to submit form data to database
- Thread starter 5656
- Start date
If you want something easy to learn i'd try PHP! 
If you werent set on using MBD you could use MySQL with comes installed and is free just like PHP and Apache. You can download phptriad to get a full working enviroment and the web is full of example!
One thing that comes in handy is that let's say you have this form :
<form action="myPHPScript.php">
<input type="text" name="myText" value="easy as cheese">
<input type="submit" value="submit">
</form>
When the form is submitted in myPHPScript.php you can access the value of myText simply by referring to it with $myText
Easiest way to do web developement. PHP was made for web developement. None of the other languages I've seen make it so easy. Gary Haran
