copied!<p>Well first of all, I can suggest you reading about php and MySql. Second of all you have couple of issues here. The action <strong>post</strong> that performs on submit, puts everything in a form with a name tag in a superglobal <code>$_POST</code>. So you can't use this:</p> <pre><code>$database = "my_database"; $username="user"; $password="password"; $tName="customers"; </code></pre> <p>As you don't have anything there. You only have one field in your html in a form with a name tag, which is this:</p> <pre><code><input type="text" name="Name"> </code></pre> <p>As I understand that this is what you are trying to achieve, to put inputs from the <code>html</code> <code>form</code> to the database.</p> <p>Now in you PHP file you can read from the superglobal <code>$_POST</code>, like this:</p> <pre><code>$username=$_POST['Name']; //Notice that the `name=` here, is the exact name in your `html` input field </code></pre> <p>You can actually see what's inside <code>$_POST</code> by var dumping it: <code>var_dump($_POST);</code> </p> <p>This is a start. See that everything is working and you getting all the relevant information from the <code>form</code> and then you can move to work on sending it to database.<br> Now for the database. You should not use <code>mysql</code> command instead use <code>PDO</code> or <code>Mysqli</code>. You can find more info here on how to connect to database using <code>PDO</code>: </p> <blockquote> <p><a href="http://net.tutsplus.com/tutorials/php/php-database-access-are-you-doing-it-correctly/" rel="nofollow">http://net.tutsplus.com/tutorials/php/php-database-access-are-you-doing-it-correctly/</a> and of course you can read the <code>PHP</code>: manual: <a href="http://www.php.net/manual/en/intro.mysql.php" rel="nofollow">http://www.php.net/manual/en/intro.mysql.php</a></p> </blockquote>
