How do I link information that I got from my webpage to an online database?

Question

How do I even put a form on the web page to get the information?

Answer 1

If you are not even sure how to create a form for your web page, then a discussion on all of the technologies and processes required to do a database-connected site is well beyond the scope of this forum.

You need to learn about database-driven websites and the technologies employed to create them. Once you have a good grasp of the site-database interaction model, you can easily accomplish what you're asking.

Start by reading this: http://www.killersites.com/articles/articles_databaseDrivenSites.htm

Then watch these:

And get a book on HTML to learn about forms (and other things). I recommend this one:

Answer 2

It requires software to run on the server itself to maintain the database. It is probably not practical to give detailed information here.
