Okay, I may be going about this totally wrong, but I have spent much of the day searching for a tutorial (unsuccessfully) for LiveCycle (Adobe product) that shows how to connect to a database and inserting the form contents into said database instead of emailing them to me in anXML document.

So far all I have found is the Data Connections, which I think is probably what I am supposed to be using, but I haven't found anything that tells me what type of connection or anything to connect to a database located on the internet (this form may be accessed by multiple websites or people who have just downloaded it, so it has to go to the absolute path of the database).

Does anyone know how to do this? Or could anyone point me at a tutorial that explains what is needed for it to work?

Thanks in advance.

have you checked this

you can connect any supported database to livecycle. You would
need to modify the adobe-ds.xml file to point to the right database.
Please take a look at the installation guidelines and instructions on
the adobe website for the environment/ database you want to
use :http://www.adobe.com/support/documentation/en/livecycle/

Ya, I saw that, but it doesn't seem to want to allow remote connections with my current setup.

<edit>
Nevermind, I didn't know that the HTTP submit button would post all the data to a server-side script. Everything is working fine now smile.gif

Ya, turns out I was googling for the wrong thing. Should have been looking for "LiveCycle - PHP connection" the entire time. It would have made this thread unnecessary smile.gif
