Form data into MySQL

nscherneck

Hello,

I am creating a small application in which a form will submit data into a MySQL table. I think i may be trying to do this wrong. What i have done is setup my form to POST to my handleform.php file. This is a brief synopsis of how i coded handleform.php:

<?PHP>

Code for insertion here

HTML layout (tables, links, etc.)

</BODY>
</HTML>

Do i have this layed out wrong? Do i need to shell the HTML within the PHP? The reason i ask is i get a parse error on the first line of HTML layout code, which happens to be a table. Any help would be great, thank you.

Lose the > after <?PHP

Yes, thats a typo in my post, i dont actually have that in my code...

Post the code then. There is nothing wrong with doing it like you outline, html in php or php in html either is ok.
