Adding content to database

[thehappyappy]

I have a form that people can fill out, but I need the imformation to be added to a database. Is it possible to do this and how would I go about it?
Thanks

Are you familiar with MySQL? Are you being hosted or are you running on a local server?

The answer to your question is 'yes it can be done'. But your question is very general. If you can answer my 2 questions then my answer can be elaborated.

Give this a go

No I'm not very familiar with MySQL (The only thing I've managed to do so far is created a database on my own computer). The database I want to add the content to is being hosted though.
Thanks for your help, I'm about to have a look at the link you mentioned as well.

I have all of the details to access the database, but I don't know how to access it using the Terminal window. I tried typing:

mysql --host xx.xx.xx.xxx --user username --password=password databasename

straight into the window as soon as I open it, but it came up with an error saying:

-bash: mysql: command not found

what have you used to create your database?

How did you create the database?
Are you using phpMyAdmin?

The database was created by the person who originally built the site, but now I've been asked to add this bit to it. I found a file in the root folder called includes.php the content of that file is:

<?

include "common/config.php" ;
include "common/common.class.php" ;
include "common/database.class.php" ;

$db = new database() ;
$common = new common() ;

?>

Thanks
