You should be more specific of what you want. I'd say try google-ing. Go to google.com and do a search for the following:

To store data from a form to a mysql database use:
- Insert MySQL PHP Tutorial

To store data from a form to a text/flat file use:
- Insert flat file PHP Tutorial

I've always done this in the past and many good tutorials or code samples have come up. I have no fixed place of where I learn my PHP - it's everywhere.

Hope that helped!

green: sit down and draft a layout of the pages. make an example. this will show you what you need on each page. write all that down, then decide how you want to break that up between pages. then figure out what you want to use for a database.

figure out what feilds you need. etc


i'm making one right now. the hardest part is figuring out and making sure you have everything you need on each page
