• Hello,

    I need help with using php files on my website.

    Currently, the content on my website is built using wordpress themes and plugins. Now, i want to use php files along with wordpress.

    Below are the two files.

    ** Code to generate a sample form on website.
    ** File name : demo-form.php

    <form action=”demo.php” method=”post” />
    <p> Input 1 : <input type=”text” name=”input1″ /> </p>
    <input type=”submit” value=”submit” />
    </form>

    ** code to create a connection to database and connect the form to the database.
    ** File Name : demo.php

    <?php
    define(‘DB_NAME’,’xxxxx’);
    define(‘DB_USER’,’xxxx’);
    define(‘DB_PASSWORD’,’xxxx’);
    define(‘DB_HOST’,’localhost’);
    define(‘DB_CHARSET’, ‘utf8’);
    define(‘DB_COLLATE’, ”);

    $link = mysql_connect(DB_HOST,DB_USER,DB_PASSWORD);
    if (!$link) {
    die(‘could not connect: ‘. mysql_error());
    }

    $db_selected = mysql_select_db(DB_NAME,$link);

    if (!$db_selected) {
    die(‘cant use ‘. DB_NAME . ‘:’ .mysql_error());
    }

    $value = $_POST[‘input1’];

    $sql = “INSERT INTO Php_Test (input1) VALUES (‘$Value’)”;

    if (!mysql_query($sql)) {
    die (‘Error: ‘ . mysql_error());
    }
    mysql_close();
    ?>

    ** I’m stuck here. No idea under which folders these two files can be placed in my cpanel file manager. And either i want to use the same wp database or another new database but i would like to have this form and database to communicate.

    Hosting provider : Godaddy
    Database : MySQL

    Thanks for your help on this.
