Where are you at right now? This is a multiple step process.

  1. Get form inputs / redirect back to form field errors
  2. Sanitize inputs
  3. Connect to DB
  4. Insert into DB using INSERT statement
  5. Do something based on success/failure of INSERT

Each steps requires a bit of knowledge.

If you need something up fast, I would suggest using a 3rd party solution like Wufoo.
