PHPformgenerator and MySQL how to make it work

Asked by: semm17

Hi Experts, I have been researching this problem and I need some help.

I installed PHPformgenerator on my website through Fantastico Cpanel. It also creates the MySQL database for me.

My problem really comes on Step 4 of making a form. This is where basically you are going to tell the information to get

accessed into your MYSQL database.

My question is what do I put in? Here are some of the questions. I also included mysql info below but I changed the names to

protect the innocent.

If you chose yes, please enter your MySQL database access information:
hostname:
username:
password:
database:

______________________________________________________________________________
Create new table?

yes no

If you chose yes, please enter a name for the table to be created:
table name:

______________________________________________________________________________

Connection Strings
Perl $dbh = DBI->connect("DBI:mysql:yassyme_frgn1:localhost","yassyme_frgn1","<PASSWORD HERE>");
PHP $dbh=mysql_connect ("localhost", "yassyme_frgn1", "<PASSWORD HERE>") or die ('I cannot connect to the database because:

' . mysql_error());
mysql_select_db ("yassyme_frgn1");
