So I created a web page with HTML5 and js. I'm trying to get some data from that web page and save it in a database made in MySQL. How is the best way to connect my web page with a database. I really dont know much about this, if is not possible, how does a normal web page where you fill a form works?, how do they get the data from the form? .

  • PHP backend is an option. Off topic to explain that here. I'm sure there are tons of tutorials online. – 001 Apr 28 '22 at 00:32
  • You need a backend program. You can use any programming language. Including JS or PHP. – Quentin Apr 28 '22 at 13:37

Directing from your HTML isn´t possible, you should use an api call or something that handles the connection... Look a similar questions and answer at Can JavaScript connect with MySQL?

  • continues that imposible, you must use a intermediate like node.js, also it´s not secure store the DB password flat on your js or html!! Here a [tutorial](https://www.mysqltutorial.org/mysql-nodejs/connect/) – Julio Améstica Apr 28 '22 at 00:59

  • Generally front- end communicate with back-end api and it communicate with the database but depend of what technology you use!! What do you have in main – Julio Améstica Apr 28 '22 at 03:13
