how do I connect to my database?

1
I am new working with databases. I have created a database on my server host with PHPAdmin. How do I connect my HTML form page to it, so that visitors information can go to the table created?

You cannot just 'connect' a html page to a database.

First you have to develop a server-side script (e.g. PHP or another server language) that connects to the server, to the database and performs a query on that database.

The results of that query can then be formatted (using PHP) into a html page which can be displayed on the client.
