How do I get this insert string from the client side to operate on the server side to update the sql database?
You don't... or rather you shouldn't. Your form should be set with an Action of "Post" (form actions have two options: Get - which passes everything trhough the querystring/url - if you look at the address above right now, you'll see the post id of 756527, plus the text of the title... that's a get... The other option is a Post... where everything is sent back to the server through session/cookies/what ever it is) you should then have a PHP page on the recieving end that then know what to do with the data and it's the THAT code that should be inserting the data into the database... you shouldn't be doing it from the client.
