OK, I am not sure if I am simply slow, or what but, Let's see, I have been doing great with PHP/MYSQL, have been just ok with CGI but, I am having an issue, and am not finding the answer in any of the books that I have.

I fill in a form on a PHP page that triggers a PERL/CGI mail form, but, what I want to be able to do is send some information from that form to my MYSQL database as well. Currently, here's what is happening.

User fills out form, clicks submit, action goes to CGI page which puts the information together and sends the email to me.

My quess here is that what I need to do is somehow make the form do the MYSQL entry first and then redirect to the CGI script. Or am I wrong? I just can't figure out how to make this seamless.

thanks in advance
Mike
