<textarea name? or id?>

when submitting to a MySQL database, what does the query look for from the form fields.... the name value or id?

[Demaestro]

Id's are not submitted along with forms...So only the name and value are used.

If you have a few form items that have the same name the values will be returned in a single array

also, there is no protocol i know of to submit a form to a mysql db.

typically the form is submitted to a cgi script which creates the query using form parameters and connects to the mysql db.
