integration mysql

Hello andrew
I do not know how to integrate the examples with an existing database to insert or update records. We must create a new class with the connection?

Joan,

This class is primarily used for rendering HTML forms through php. Once the form is submitted, it is your responsibility to handle the $_POST data appropriately - whether that be building and sending an email or storing the data in a database. In other words, this class does not have functionality built in to communicate with a MySQL database.

Have you had experience working with a MySQL database through PHP?

Please let me know if I'm misunderstanding your question. I would like to help, or at least point you in the right direction.

Thanks,
Andrew

Andrew,
thanks for your prompt response.
The truth is that my experience with PHP is fairly limited because only use with the Dreamweaver

Joan,

The first step would be to ensure that you have a MySQL database with a username and password that you can connect to and communicate with via PHP. After that, you can jump in and use php's built in functions for communicating with a MySQL database.

There are many tutorials/examples out there that will walk you through the various step needed. One such example can be found at http://www.w3schools.com/PHP/php_mysql_intro.asp.

Another route you may choose to take is to use a database wrapper class posted here on phpclasses.com - there are dozens of these. I wish I could recommend one specifically to you; however, I have not used any posted here. I use a utility our company has built in house for database communication.

Good Luck!
