That should open the connection, gather all of the data from the form and creates a query to insert that data into the forum? I'm not sure how I then go about entering that data into the database when the submit button is pressed.

Is there suppose to be a username and password on your database?
If you have a username and password, then you need to enter that in, otherwise username and password variables can be null
