So I am actually not sure what I am doing wrong, and I am sure it is just some small mistake, but I can't seem to get the submit button to take the information in the form and and send it to the database.

Here is what my code looks like.

So with this I am able to successfully connect to the database:

<?php

$mysql_host = 'localhost';
$mysql_pass = '';
$mysql_user = 'root';``

$mysql_db = 'blog';

if (! @mysql_connect($mysql_host, $mysql_user, $mysql_pass) || ! @mysql_select_db($mysql_db)){
die('Error');
}

?>

and I able to see the contents of table by printing them to the screen.

I believe the problem is here in this simple html form:

            <form action="index.php" method = "post">


            <div class="ui form">
                <div class="field" name = "title">
               <label>Title</label>
                <input type="text">
            </div>
              <div class="field" name = "post">
                <label>New Post</label>
                <textarea></textarea>
              </div>
            </div>
            <br>
            <div class="ui submit button" name = "submit">Submit New Post</div>


        </form>

I am just curious as to which php code I should use to connect this form so I am able to send the contents of the form over to the database.
