I've been trying to learn PHP and have been given a simple task to help me.
I'm trying to get a user to complete a form which has their email address in it, then save it to a database.
Here's my code so far:
<html>
<body>
<form action="postemail.php" method="post"> Email Address: <input type="text" name="emailaddress" /> <input type="submit" />
</form>
</body>
</html>
<?php
$connection = mysql_connect("localhost","edwardHost","password");
if (!$connection) {
die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error());
}
mysql_select_db("my_database", $connection);
$sql="INSERT INTO Subscribers (EmailAddress) VALUES ('$_POST[emailaddress]')";
if (!mysql_query($sql,$connection)) {
die('Error: ' . mysql_error());
}
mysql_close($connection);
?>
Thanks in advance!
