PHP and MySQL

Recommended Posts

I am relatively new to PHP. I know that I haven't put in the time to properly learn PHP but I have some experience with MySQL.

 

I'm trying to figure out how to take information from a form on a webpage and insert it into a MySQL database. Another thing I would like to do is to take information FROM a MySQL database and then display it on a webpage. All the tutorials I've read online provide conceptual PHP, and while I understand it, I have no clue what to do WITH it. Does anyone know of an easily understandable tutorial or can anyone provide some guidance? I know these are two big questions ....

 

 

Thanks

"For a submission button to accomplish anything it must be placed inside of a form tag with an action and a method. The action is always set to a server side scripting file such as a PHP, PERL, or ASP file. Another choice may be to set the action to mailto followed by an email address, and the form will be emailed to the specified address."

 

This is copied verbatim from the last tutorial linked (which I thank you for, btw). All the tutorials do this, saying the "action" can be set to a script. HOW? "action=$v"?

 

Thanks :-)
