Databases

Wondering about the flow of info

[wkpride]

I have MySQL database with my account. Let me see if I have this right, If I put a user input table on my page... The data would dump into (providing I tell it where) the MySQL database. Next I would need a application (app) to do something with the data?

that's correct. You do this because you can access the data dynamically.

-->program captures first and last name from web form
-->insert first name into table. Insert last name into table.

later, on another page, function to find all users with last name 'Tabke'.
--> select all records (which will include all data about the selected users) where last name-'Tabke'.
-->for each selected record, display first name, last name.

...just as a very weak example.
