form help

Please help me, I am using PHP and MySql and want to know how to take input from an html form and place it in my database.

Thanks
Tim

=============
page1.html:

<form action="page2.php3" method="post">
<input type=text name="name">
<input type=text name="sex">
<input type=submit>
</form>

============
page2.php3:

(assume you've connected to mysql and selected appropriate database)

$result=mysql_query("insert into your_table values('$name','$sex')");
if (!$result)
{
//an error occured... do something!
exit;
}

// insert succeeded ... do something else
