Not to be a wanker or anything, but HTML is a markup language not a
programming language. PHP is a programming language. There's no way, that I
know of, that a person can use straight HTML to put form data into a
database.
I agree with previous posters, if you can use PHP for processing your form
data, do so. It will be easy if you have any programming experience at all.
