Was wondering if I can have HTML run an SQL query?

[PuddinPie]

Hello,

I was wondering if it was possiable to have an HTML page and when a user fills it out and clicks submit it dumps all the information into a database" table.
I assume it would be and SQL call but I'm not quite sure how to code it.

Can anybody tell me or direct me to a page that can?

Thank you.

HTML stands for Hyper Text Markup Language. It is used to describe to browsers how text/images should be displayed.

It does not have any logic built into it. In other words, it's not a "programmin g language" it's just a defined way to "mark up" text so that it displays the way you want it to display in a web browser.

This means that HTML cannot be used to store things into a database. You need to submit the page to some code that is running on a web-server that will take what the user provided, validate this information (sanitize it), and then (if the data is valid/clean) store it in the database.

You can use any server-side language that you want: PHP, ASP/ASP.NET, Java (JSP), Perl etc. etc.
