Hello, I am using php to create a form. I would like that forms
information to go into a database. When creating tables where the
information that i entered into the form will be stored, where exactly
do i place the code for creating the tables. Do I have to create a new
php file? and how do i link the information from the form to the
tables. Please go easy on me I am brand new to PHP and SQL. here is
the code that i have so far for the form if this helps any. Thank you
for any help that you can provide.
