PHP help for dummies

@katasovaNov 10.2005 — #hi there, before anything else happen i want to say my english is not very good but i want to hlp u hehe ?

I bet u already have Apache or IIS or any server installed in ur PC so u can test all u do in localhost. If u dont i suggest WAMP server if u use PC or MAMP if u use Mac. Just look for any of this in google, download it and install it...

Now if u have the forms rdy do something liek this:

[code=html]
 
 <form action="nextPage.php" method="POST" name="something">
 ....
 </form>
 [/code]

Now in the page named 'nextPage.php'

[code=php]
 $name = $_POST["name"]; //$name is the name of ur variable where u store data from users.... $_POST["name"]; is the call to the value of the form (name) in the last page that u want to save
 
 ....
 
 $user="root";
 $pass="root";
 $server="localhost";
 $base="base";
 $connect=mysql_connect($server,$user,$pass) or die ("Error."); //connect to sql
 
 mysql_select_db($base ,$conect) or die("Error."); //select DB
 
 //time to save ur data in DB
 
 $query = "INSERT INTO table (NAME, Email.....) VALUES '$name', '$email', ....";
 
 
 $res = mysql_query(query) or die ("Error");
 
 // if u didnt got any error then teh data is saved in ur DB
 [/code]

Now just add some html code here to say ur user that u saved his data in the DB, thx for choose ur page, etc....

Hope this hlp u, if u want an easy example i made some time ago send me an email to [email][email protected][/email] and il send u back the source code...
