Hi newbie 123 and welcome to daniweb
All you need to do is use $_POST to test if the form has been set in the URL.
This would be your form:
<form action='?send=true' method='POST'>
<input type='text' name='whatever'>
</form>
When this form is clicked the user is sent to the same page but
?send=true
is echoed in the URL.
You can then test if it is set by doing the following:
if (isset ($_POST['send'])) {
// SEND OF TO DATABASE
}
Hope all this helps
And if you need any help just post :)
