Creating a Form

<form enctype="multipart/form-data" action="add.php" method="POST">
Name: <input type="text" name="name"><br>
E-mail: <input type="text" name = "email"><br>
Phone: <input type="text" name = "phone"><br>
Photo: <input type="file" name="photo"><br>
<input type="submit" value="Add">
</form>
This is simply an HTML form that you would use to collect information to be added to the database. We could add more fields if we wanted, but then we would also need to add the appropriate fields to our MySQL database.
