    hi all,

    i'm new to using php, adodb and pgsql. i have a need to enter data
    into a database.

    however, i can't find a web example or tutorial that explains the nuts
    and bolts of how this is done.

    in general terms, does it go like this...

    1. create form on first web page.
    2. send form to a 2nd web page via the form's method and action
    propertise (and submit button).
    3. put php the same 2nd web page so that variables are taken from the
    entry form page and use adodb to perform the insert into the database.
    4. have the 2nd web page send the user back to a third page confirming
    their data entry and offering them the opportunity to add more data.

    is this correct? what is the best way to do this?

    are there any web tutorials or examples of the whole process at work?
    your help is very much appreciated.
