Yes, I felt there was a "missing link" from previous lessons (https://teamtreehouse.com/library/build-a-basic-php-website). database.db file came out of nowhere? +1 for this question.

First of all, you need to choose and install the DB application like MYSQL, Oracle or etc. Then, you declare two the String variables in PHP. One is for the insert statement(query) and one for the date you want to insert. Then it will be sent to your database. I can't tell you all the details but this is how it works. If you have any further question, please ask me.
