    Default using an HTML form

    Hey Guys... is it possible for me to have a bypass PHP when putting a form page on a web page...

    Or can anyone help me out with the PHP code so that when ever my form are filled on my web page, I can always get the information and how to network it to a Database.

    Thank you

    What do you mean? None of this sounds like a standard request, so you need to explain a lot more.
    Specifically I don't know what a "bypass PHP" is.


    If you just want to learn how to use PHP and forms, then try any number of tutorials out there. For MySQL, here's a good place to start: http://php-mysql-tutorial.com

    Any PHP tutorial will explain the basics of using forms.

    actually what I mean is bye-passing the PHP call... I want to have a form and a database on my websites, I can use PHP but have knowledge of HTML only...

    can you help?

    The only thing HTML can do is submit information. It does nothing on the server (database) and can't send emails.

    http://php-mysql-tutorial.com

    If you want to learn, that's a great place to start.

    If not, I suggest asking for paid help because you are asking someone to just do it for you. If you want HELP and will try to do it yourself, that's fine, but not for a whole project. (You can wait to see if someone wants to help, but it is unlikely it would take a lot of time, and that's not usually what people want to do for free.)




    Note that I merged the two topics you created: please only post a question once.


    So I hope this clears everything up: You MUST use PHP [or ASP, CGI, JSP, etc] if you want to do anything with form data. If you bypass PHP, you will bypass the database and everything else.

    I don't know what you mean about "basic skill" and your original questions were unclear--- I don't think you can "bypass PHP" if I understood it correctly. The links above are basic, introductory tutorials.
