The data from the form with go to the script named in the action
parameter of the form tag.
in that script the data will be in the $_POST array.
eg:
<form action="contact_manage.php" method="post">
<input type="text" name="fname" size="20" />
<input type="text" name="lname" size="20"/>
<input type="submit">
then in the script, "contact_manage.php"
$first_name = $_POST['fname'];
$last_name = $_POST['lname'];
But, don't even think about putting user supplied data directly
into the database. Bad things can happen.
