Hi,

I've written a PHP DB/Template tutorial at:

I hope it will be useful to someone.

It looks good, but there are a couple of things I would amend.

You use this construct to check for POST data, but it will actually
throw warnings if no POST data is sent:

!($_POST["name"] && $_POST["email"] && $_POST["bear"])

In this case you should use the isset() function.

In step 7 you're using POST variables directly as part of your mail()
call without any kind of validation, so you're essentially opening it up
to becoming a spam relay script.

Aside from that, looks good, and you've got plenty of detail in there to
explain what you're doing. :)

find time (probably next weekend).
