I began hosting my website through a service that uses cpanel... I found creating a database, tables etc a headache, and all the worse using phpAdmin.
Coding I used when hosting my site on my own machine (Apache2.4, MySQL5.7, PHP7) that worked fine will not work now and I have spent MANY hours trying to figure this out... 2 scripts:
someform.html:
<html>
<form action="someform.php" method="post">
<p>A: <input type="text" name="A" autofocus /></p>
<p>B: <input type="text" name="B" autofocus /></p>
<p>C: <input type="text" name="C" autofocus /></p>
<p>D: <input type="text" name="D" autofocus /></p>
<p>E: <input type="text" name="E" autofocus /></p>
<p>F: <input type="text" name="F" autofocus /></p>
<p>G: <input type="text" name="G" autofocus /></p>
<p><input type="submit"></p>
</form>
</html>
someform.php:
<html>
<style>
table {

Would appreciate some help while some hair remains...
