Forms

[Billett]

I want to have a form on my website which when i click subit the data will go into my database, how would i go about doing this????

use any wysiwyg editor to create the form and then create a php page with 2 functions, one to show the form and the other to do the insert

if (!$_POST['submit']){
   //the submit button was not hit so show the form

   show_form();   //call the show_form function

}else{
   //do the insert

   do_insert();     //call the insert function

}//end if
//
//
function show_form()
{
  //html and/or php code to create the form goes here

}//end function
//
//
function do_insert()
{
//php code to get the values from the form using either $_POST or $_GET

//php code to validate the forms data and either run the insert or send the user back to the form

//code to connect to the db
//code to do the insert
//code to confirm insertion to the user

}//end function

}
