Create form linked to html that updates SQL database

[wannalearnit]

Hi all -

I need to access an SQL database from a webpage so users can update information directly to the database (in the form of a "form"). There are a few fields from different tables in SQL that I need on the form. Problem is: I have no idea how to even begin!

Someone mentioned that PHP is the way to go and I've started looking through tutorials, but thought I would post the question to see if this is even the right language to use.

Could someone point me in the right direction?

Many thanks.

Google "PHP Mysql Tutorial". There are a ton of places to find introductory material so read through that and post questions when you're unclear about particular ideas.

And yes, PHP and Mysql (or whatever DBMS you use) are one of the logical ways to do what you intend to.
