MsRedImp Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 Hey, I started learning PHP a few days ago and have gone through some tutorials but haven't found out what I need to know, here's the problem: I used this tutorial to learn about forms: http://www.tizag.com/phpT/forms.php It told me how to make a form with submit button, and then went to a process.php page echoing my input from the first page in an order form example. You can check out what this does here: http://msredimp.110mb.com/form.php But what I want to know is, if somebody uses this form, how do I receive the information they have added? How do I download that to myself? I think this might be something to do with databases, but I haven't learn that yet. Any guide into the correct direction and help is much appreciated, thank you. (I have a Wamp5 server thing set up ready for testing if needed.) Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/74743-solved-php-form-help/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
pocobueno1388 Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 Yes, you need to store the information in a database. If you have no experience with a database, I would recommend reading some tutorials on it before you even go any further with this project. There are actually tutorials on it at the site your already using. http://www.tizag.com/mysqlTutorial/ Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/74743-solved-php-form-help/#findComment-377827 Share on other sites More sharing options...

pocobueno1388 Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 www.killerphp.com has just put up a video tutorial about MySQL and databases. http://www.killerphp.com/videos/14_mysql/mysql-intro-part1.php Just thought I would share that since I just stumbled across it.
