[Getting Started and Need Some Help]

Hi guys,

 

I am new to php and mySQL.  I am trying to just learn how to input and output data to a mySQL database.

 

What I want to do is have a single page with a text area and button where a user can enter some text and then press a submit button.  When the button is pressed I want the text that the user typed to be entered in my database and then displayed below the text area.

 

If you have any questions about what I am trying to do please ask. 

 

Thank you for your help in advance!
