Help with Form

[spighita]

Hello:
Can someone send me a form type with only 2 Fields, something real simple to get started. So I can read out. The HTML and the PHP. Please. I need to insert into a database just two fields.

Thanks in advance for anyone who helps.

Just go read one of the tutorials dude. There's begginer ones that show you all the steps involved in making a form, and inserting data into a database...

Then, if you don't get something, you should post to the forum.

Good luck

<?php
//form.php
if (isset($_POST['submit'])) {
	$errors = array();
	if (!isset($_POST['name'])) {
		$errors[] = 'Please enter your name';
	}
	if (!isset($_POST['email'])) {
		$errors[] = 'Please enter your email address';
	}
	if (count($errors) == 0) {
		//assume using mysql database (that is connected and selected)
		//may want to use addslashes() and/or trim() too
		$name = $_POST['name'];
		$email = $_POST['email'];
		if (mysql_query("INSERT INTO tablename (id, name, email) VALUES(NULL, '$name', '$email')")) {
			echo 'Your information has been stored';
		}
		else {
			echo 'Error: could not write to database';
		}
	}
	else {
		echo 'Sorry, you have not filled the required fields<br>';
		foreach ($errors as $error) {
			echp $error . '<br>';
		}
	}
}
?>
<form action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>" method="post">
Name: <input type="text" name="name" value="<?php
if (isset($_POST['name'])) {
	echo htmlspecialchars($_POST['name']);
}
?>"><br>
Email: <input type="text" name="email" value="<?php
if (isset($_POST['email'])) {
	echo htmlspecialchars($_POST['email']);
}
?>"><br>
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit">
</form>
