    Does this form send comments to your email, or enter them into a database?

    Looks like you need to start learning. Try http://www.w3schools.com for great tutorials. Once you've done that and you still need help post your problem.

    W3Schools has some good tutorials, some bad. I can't recommend it. The PHP+MySQL tutorial is particularly problematic. Tizag is a little better overall, but still flawed in spots. The proper approach is to lean to program, then learn PHP.
    Be sure to read all pages linked in this post; they have further information that should prove useful. When asking for help, make sure you follow Eric Raymond's and Jon Skeet's guidelines for prompt, accurate responses. Please answer any questions I ask; they're not rhetorical (probably). Any posted code is intended as illustrative example, rather than a solution to your problem to be copied without alteration. Study it to learn how to write your own solution.

    Oh? I've used w3schools for most of my learning although I haven't completely relied on it.

    Oh!, but if you can provide me code it will be nice cause whenever I start reading PHP, JavaScript all those tags starts gamboling before my eyes. It is very hard to learn for me. I've got very good book to read but it is very lengthy and big book to complete. So I want my first site running as soon as possible.

    With W3Schools, you'll end up having to unlearn so much, especially when it comes to MySQL+PHP.

    In particular, the MySQL+PHP tutorial is based on a terribly out of date MySQL driver (mysql was replaced by mysqli, which was replaced by PDO), which means it can't cover prepared statements. With no prepared statements, it should cover how to prevent SQL injection, but it doesn't. At all. In any tutorial. Tizag is just as out of date, but it at least covers SQL injection, though it's in an "advanced topic" tutorial, which means countless users probably don't bother with it.

    It also doesn't go on to cover how to separate data access out of the rest of the system into its own layer. That's an intermediate topic, but a vital one.

    Also, W3School's HTML tutorials don't approach HTML from a semantic viewpoint. Tizag is a little better on this count, but still measures up short. HTMLDog might be the best of the three for HTML. It's beginner HTML tutorial doesn't mention semantic HTML (which isn't necessary); at the same time, it doesn't go against the principles of semantic HTML.

    There might be other problem areas, and areas where the sites shine. Since I didn't learn by reading tutorials, I've only glanced at what the sites have to offer. I haven't been too impressed, and I'm not alone. W3Schools is popular, but not good. It persists because that's where people started, so that's what they recommend, not realizing how bad it is.

    Patience, young grasshopper. It's better to take a little more time to do it right than do it fast and sloppy. It's harder to unlearn bad habits that learn good ones. If the project were more complex than a comment form, I'd recommend starting as simple as possible and adding features later.

    I see. Well I haven't had to unlearn much so far (I guess I got lucky) and I've been able to create some pretty elaborate sites so far. I see what you're talking about and why W3Schools isn't the best.

    As for you snshusat, I recommend the same as misson. Take your time with your sites and make them your best work. Have you seen my signature? I'm only 13 and I've learned a lot about both web development and iPhone programming. This hasn't happened instantly, I've come a long way. If you want to learn, be patient and try your best to solve your problems on your own, as this is the best way for you to learn. If you are absolutely stuck, ask for help, but don't just post a picture and say "this is what I want done, give me the code". Thats what paid developers are for
