You are going to have to establish a connection from your MySQL database to your HTML form using a scripting language. Personally i recommend PHP but you can use ASP, ASP.Net...whatever is easiest for you.
If you choose PHP you create a connection string like this:
$dbc = mysqli_connect('IP address of location of MySQL database', 'Usernam', 'Password', 'Database Name')
or die('Error connecting to MySQL server.');Once you have that written you need to write a query string that inserts data into the database such as this:
$query = "INSERT INTO email_list (first_name, last_name, email) VALUES ('$first_name', '$last_name', '$email')";Hope this helps

tags.
so you would have in your index.html or whatever file
HTML and CSS Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
This would be a lot easier if you would post your code
Another thing that you can do is just do a simple form email system.
Or just host the page.
For a form though, you can POST or GET data. POSTing data sends it through the connection, and GETting data sends it through the url.
POSTs are much better for larger amounts of data.
Forms typically use the name attribute to send data to the server with the name attribute for that element.
Take note that the database accessed by PHP is on the server, not your computer, so you'll need to view it on the server somehow. (using your PHP program or a prebuilt one like phpmyadmin)
Remember to validate and filter your input so the database (or your webserver), isn't hacked.
