What it actually does is nothing. I can do the database insert, which gives no errors, and appears to be successful, but when I query the database to get the data, the resulting variable is empty.

The "action" attribute tells the form to send the data to a script named "info.php," and "method" describes the type of action to be performed once the information is passed to the script.

And that’s all there is to creating a table and inserting data into it on MySQL. Once you have all the data necessary, your database is ready for usage by your web-based tool.
