Simple Tutorial on creating a Database

ccasmoe00 · 02-26-2008, 06:38 PM

Hi everyone, I am VERY new to messing with Php and MySQL, but I want to learn! I have a website that I would simply like to just store names and emails from people who have submitted them from the form on the website.

I have them being sent to a email address from a PhP form as of now, but I'd much rather have all the information stored in a database.

Can anyone point me the right direction? Thanks!

the ph website has lots of tutorials on how to do this and plenty of people have set up tutorials online.

basically you want to create a table with all the fields, that you need. and instead of posting yor form iniformation to a script that emails the information you should post it to a form to save the information.

that should help you.
