You're right.  Now that I think about it, the HTML script did have a little
perl in it.

Not to be a wanker or anything, but HTML is a markup language not a 
programming language. PHP is a programming language. There's no way, that I 
know of, that a person can use straight HTML to put form data into a 
database.

I agree with previous posters, if you can use PHP for processing your form 
data, do so. It will be easy if you have any programming experience at all.
