PHP form for creating HTML code...

Can anybody point me in the right direction of how to code a php form to create HTML/xhtml from input such as 1) a link 2) an image URL please? It's a sort of "banners for idiots" form. If I can just get my head 'round the basics I might be able to eventually add image size parameters and alt/title attribute fields too

Thanks

 

um...couple of ways...probably the long term simple one would be to download tiny_mce or a similar wysiwyg plugin, then you have a full wysiwyg panel to upload banner, add link and what have you as you liike. If that sounds a bit over the top or defeats the point of a deliberate learning curve you have set yourself, then you have to decide how you are going to layout the form....something roughly along the lines of:

<?php
if (!empty($_POST['banner']) {
mysql_query("INSERT into table (banner, image, url) VALUES ($banner, $image, $url);");
echo 'data added to table';
}
?>
then a simple html form below with the three tags of banner, image and url...this is far from complete and is meant to be a starting point for you, so please dont copy it onto your site then ask me why it doesnt work! Just had 2 minutes before i went home, thought id steer you in a direction......good luck
