MySql newbie

Hi all,
I am having a problem, I created a web site that needs 3 pages to connect to a database but not to query it but to input data into it. I have txt boxes on my page that the user enters information into and I also have the submit buttom linked to a confermation page but the information in the text boxes does not go to the database. I am using MySql 5.11, I also have phpmyadmin, & SQLlitemanger. I wasnt shure which one to use so I loaded all three.

If anyone can help me or point me in the right direction. One more thing I am have a time restriction with this also, my last day here is going to be next fri 5/8

Thanks in advance
Dave
