I am relatively new to php programming and just beginning to mess with MYSQL. I have several forms that are in PHP format and currently the results are going into my email, however, I would like them sent to MYSQL database.

I have created the database already; however, I don't know how to create tables and how do I send the results of the form to the database?

I don't know how much help you got already from that tutorial, so I'll just give you a little more info.

For creating tables, I would definitely use something like phpMyAdmin found on www.phpmyadmin.net . This will allow you to set up your database to accept forms from web pages.

Sending in from forms on a web pages uses a simple INSERT INTO command with the values after that, you can find the syntax for that in the phpMyAdmin help files.

Hope this helps some.

yes phpmyadmin will make the tables for you and it will also show you how it did that

my advice: buy a mysql book, i bought one and i always use it as it has every special little function as well as showing you how each command and function works. they often show you how to install your own mysql system if you ever wanted to have a offline test server on your computer
