1. a POST requires an executable (script or binary) whereas index.shtml
is a static file
2. your insert into the database should be done in perl, PHP, whatever
3. you must configure a directory/location in your httpd.conf to allow
execution of your scripts (perl, PHP, whatever)
for PHP you can do something like:
AddType application/x-httpd-php3 .php3 (or php4 if you have that)
Your Apache documentation is your friend, as is the PHP website.
