I am new to html & php and I appreciate your help. I am trying to accept user input into a webpage and then after the user clicks the submit button, write a new record out to MySQL. I am using Wordpress so the tags are not exactly textbook. So my first problem is that the submit button does not appear to execute the php code. I also would appreciate it if someone could check how I am passing my html field names to the php variables to make sure that I am on the right track. Thanks for your help!
