really simple step

[imnsi]

I just want to get a form to POST to a php (which i know how to do) and then insert it into my database

I use phpmyadmin (if that helps) but How do I do this? I have had people link me but its not helping? any help??

.. Hm.. Not sure if I know your problem..

In the page you have posted to (Say, you have posted the vars $name and $message):

$query = "insert into YOURTABLE (name, message) values ($name, $message)";

$inserted =@ mysql_query($query) or die ("<b>Data could not be inserted. </b>");

Hope this helps?

Just a few suggestions: use single quotes around your values.
Safer (and better) to assume globals are off (use $POST)
use mysql_error() rather than your own error message. Your own error message lets you know there's a problem, but it does nothign as for as helping you figure out what that problem is.

$query = "INSERT INTO table (name, message) values ('" . $_POST["name"] . "', '" . $_POST["message"] . "')"; 
$result = mysql_query($query) or die(mysql_error());
