I made my registration page for my game look so so cool, but how do i make the input boxes actually write to a database file? Can someone make an example for me and include a database in it that it writes to with username password email and a special registration number everyone gets? Because even if i did know how to write to a database i wouldn't know how to MAKE a database.. Pleaaasseee! it's for this game i'm making called Super Bomberman Online Battle www.geocities.com/dragonpimpsta/Index.html thank you for your time ;) (Note: I'm not doing any database stuff on my geocities site. that's just a link to a preview of my game)
Geocities does not support server-side languages or databases, so you can't do any of that without a server that supports it.
By the way, you have a .bmp image on your site, that takes a long time to load for most people (with 56K modems), and takes a lot of bandwidth up for you. Make it into a GIF to compress it.

The simplest way could probably use some free database...say interbase or MS Access.
Then use some werver side coding e.g
JavaServelt or JSP.
Then forward your form info to servlet or jsp which then process the info and update the database.
Seems like a long shot if you don't know anything about any serverside languages.

then it'll be a VERY LONG SHOT although i'm an HTML Genius ;) which probably won't help but oh well... I'll try that and you'll be hearing from me again soon

In that case, pick a language. What languages does your server support? Which language do you want to use? Do you have phpMyAdmin installed?
