call/set database:
<?php
$db_host = "localhost";
$db_user = "root";
$db_pwd = "1234";
$db_name = "ECFLShares";
mysql_connect($db_host, $db_user, $db_pwd);
mysql_select_db($db_name);
?>
write to database via form/post:
<?php
if (!isset($_POST['submit'])) {
?>
<form action="" method="post">
Name: <input type="text" name="name"><br>
Shares Held: <input type="text" name="shares"><br>
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit!">
</form>
<?php
} else {
$name = $_POST[‘name’];
$shares = $_POST[‘shares’];
mysql_query("INSERT INTO `shares` (name, sharesHeld) VALUES ('$name', ‘$shares’)");
}
?>
then echo results on page, or use mysql query.
Thats a REALLY simple/easy method, you could probably use captcha to prevent multiple entries, and user logins so people could change their shares held in the case that they buy/sell more. =)
good luck ecfl'ers you got a hell of a company and 3 great execs.
