How do i send user input from html form to a database?

[goldenwaters]

Hello Programmers,
i designed an interface that will collect user input and send it to a database. Im not all that good in PHP/MYSQL. I have written the(sql codes) INSERT INTO codes and all of that...(php codes)
But my problem now is this: what do i place in the name attribute of my html form? Is it a PHP address to another page? Or a mySQL statement that contains the name of my database? I asked this question yesterday but no one gave me an answer.

Thanks,
Golden Waters

name attribute of my html form

Funnily enough there is a clue in the NAME of the attribute

Is it a PHP address to another page? Or a mySQL statement that contains the name of my database

No and No
