Comments form using php and mysql

[ticdesigner]

I have been designing websites for a few years and have recently got a webdesign job.

I have just begun to explore php and mysql, i have set up my mysql database and basically know how to add a table to it and add the fields, what I am looking for is a good tutorial that will explain the basics of creating a form and linking it to my database . The code is for my dj website which will allow visitors to leave a comment on my promotional mix pages.

I have one at the moment that does not use database it just uses a txt file and although this works i want to actually start to make my own using databases.

I have tried a couple of tutorials only to get to the end and it doesnt work even tho i followed it closely.

Can anyone link me to a tutorial or provide me with the code so that i can study it and start to learn how these forms are put together and begin designing my own, I know its not going to happen over night but I would feel happier knowing I designed the code rather than i just got a free code from the net.

Any help would be appreciated.

Cheers
