Hello, New to the forum and new to webdev! So go easy! :)

I'm looking to insert a data form for people to input there name and email for future contact. The website is still in development so i have made a simple front page for now using flash. The flash file is centered in a HTML page. Firstly, would it be best to have the form in the flash file or below on the HTML page? Secondly, I have tried to find some tutorials on how to do this with little luck. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Oh and when the form is created how would i connect it to the database im using?

These are only my initial questions, i have some more!

Thanks,

Anth.

Hy,
It is easier to have the fiorm in the html code.
If you want to store the form data, for example in a data base, you need a server site script, for example PHP and MySQL.
Well, check this page Insert data into MySQL (http://www.coursesweb.net/php-mysql/php-mysql-insert-into), at the end of that tutorial it is a form and a php script that save the form data in a mysql table.
