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.

Use the PHP extension for MySQL to access data from the MySQL database.
