Using MySQL with ASP - Conclusion
(Page 4 of 4 )
That's it for this article. I've created an extra script for you to practice with. This script ask the user to leave a comment in the guest book. See if you can connect to the MYSQL database and add the information. Below is the HTML code:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"><!-- InstanceBegin template="Templates/guestbook.dwt.php" codeOutsideHTMLIsLocked="false" -->
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />
<!-- InstanceBeginEditable name="doctitle" -->
<title>Untitled Document</title>
<!-- InstanceEndEditable -->
<!-- InstanceBeginEditable name="head" --><!-- InstanceEndEditable -->
<link href="user.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
</head>
<body>
<table width="100%" border="1">
<tr>
<td colspan="2" class="welcomeheader">Welcome to David Webs Guest Book </td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td colspan="2"><!-- InstanceBeginEditable name="EditRegion3" --><form id="form1" name="form1" method="post" action="add.asp">
<table width="100%" border="1">
<tr>
<td colspan="2" class="header">Please add a comment: </td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td width="13%"> </td>
<td width="87%"> </td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td valign="top"><strong>Name:</strong></td>
<td><label>
<input name="name" type="text" id="name" />
</label></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td valign="top"><strong>Comment:</strong></td>
<td><label>
<textarea name="comment" cols="40" rows="5" id="comment"></textarea>
</label></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td> </td>
<td><label>
<input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Submit" />
</label></td>
</tr>
</table>
</form><!-- InstanceEndEditable --></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td colspan="2" class="copy">©2008</td>
</tr>
</table>
</body>
<!-- InstanceEnd --></html>
And here's what the code produces:
The page basically presents the user with an HTML form that has two fields, one to take the user name and another that will take the comments that the user wants to leave. Once the user clicks on the submit button, the data will be sent to the ASP code. That is where you'd capture the form data and send it to the database. Happy coding!
