How to create registration form so that when published, all data will go to a database? – Phpmyadmin

I am currently in the process of creating a website, and I am now in the phase of trying to create a registration database. Currently, I have the databse running through localhost, using phpmyadmin and mySQL. But, when I publish the website itself, I want for each person, when they register, for their information to go to a database. I am quite new to database design and development, so I was wondering about how I should go about doing this? At the current moment, given its setup, I am sure that there will be an error caused if someone else tries to submit their information into the registration page because their computer is not holding the server. How may I resolve this? I hope that my question was clear…

I already have php code that sends the registration info to the database, but I know that it will only work on my computer.

    • The browser runs on the user’s computer
    • The HTTP server runs on a hosting computer
    • The database server runs on a hosting computer

    These can all be the same computer (and in the development environment you’ve described: they are).

    When you deploy it to a production environment, the HTTP server will be public facing. The user’s browser can connect to it from anywhere* on the Internet.

    Since the HTTP server runs the PHP which talks to the database server, it doesn’t matter that the database isn’t stored on the end user’s computer.

    As of your comment, D_A, I would say that your registration system should work fine.

    PHP code may contain “localhost” But you are sending request from “Form” submit or JS. Which makes request in URL. For example:

    http://example.com/register?name=x
