Re: Simple Problem about forms and sending info to db

Ok I think I figured out my own problem. The speechmarks in the Form break up the speech marks in the echo statement so I originally changed the echo statements speechmark to a ' which worked but was informed that this was considered bad syntax and that maybe I should add a \ in front of all speechmarks which are not part of the echo statement. I could still do with an example of how to put the information from the form into the db though. As I have never done this before.
