Unable to link my django to mysql database (Form)

can someone help me with my code? Why is it not working?

My views.py

def register(request):
    if request.method == 'POST':
        form = RegisterForm(request.POST)
        if form.is_valid():
            fullname = form.cleaned_data.get('fullname')
            emailaddress = form.cleaned_data.get('emailaddress')
            password = form.cleaned_data.get('password')
            form.save()
            return redirect('/')
    else:
        form = RegisterForm()
    return render(request, 'register.html', {'form': form})

forms.py

class RegisterForm(forms.Form):
    fullname = forms.CharField(label='fullname', max_length=100)
    emailaddress = forms.EmailField(label='emailaddress', max_length=150)
    password = forms.CharField(label='password', max_length=100)

Thanks a lot!

    If you wish to save data to database by using Django Forms then its better to use ModelForm. Instead of inheriting the class from forms.Form use ModelForm for example

     class ArticleForm(ModelForm):
   class Meta:
      model = < model class >
      fields = ['required fields']

    change according to your use case. for more information check the documentation django modelform

    If you wish to implement a custom user authentication model (both registration and login) use bellow link to know more.
    extending user model

    You can try another method also

      userdetails=modelname.objects.create(fullname=fullname,
  emailaddress=emailaddress)
  userdetails.set_password(request.POST['password'])
  userdetails.save()

    If you want to use same method, share your error message
