How to send Form data to a MySQL database creater?

[chrisclick]

Ok... I have 4 php files:

 config.php
opendb.php
closedb.php
create.php

Now config holds all the MySQL connect data, opendb open the MySQL database, create puts the tables in the database, closedb closes the database.

What I want to know is what php file I add a form to and how do i do this:
A form with 4 inputs and a buttons (host, username, password and database) which will determine what details to use when loggin onto the MySQL db...

How will I do this?

first off, not sure why u wanna be doing this, but thats ur part to think about...

second, why do u have four files for such simple actions as opening ur connection, closing your connection etc.?

once again, thats for u to think about too...

to ur question:

use an html form, with four <inputs>, each with a name that associates to what the data is, such as:

<input type="text" name="host">

Then, have a submit button (if you don't know how to add a submit button, I suggest you learn plenty about HTML and some basic PHP first before doing this, otherwise you could be opening your system up to some serious security flaws).

The form will submit to config.php using a POST, and grab that data by in ur PHP file doing:

$host = $_POST['host'];

Then use the variable $host in your connection info to the DB.
