I’ve been googling for hours now…and can’t seem to find much on the
subject.
I’m new to Ruby…slowly picking it up as I go along. I wanted to write
something I could put to use right now…a simple ruby-embedded html
page
that would save form data in to a sql database. I know this is
ridiculously
easy to do with rails…but I don’t want to do it with rails. I’m
semi-familiar with simple queries to a db using ruby…but can’t seem to
find much info on the rest…any ideas where I can find info for such a
thing? I’ve combed through the 2nd-edition of the Pickaxe too…
sighs in
frustration
Sorry, but you seem to be going the completely wrong direction.
Communication with a database, and display HTML, are two completely
different subsystems of a website.
You should first start with searches on Web programming and learning how
the
web works and how to create web-sites in general.
In terms of a Ruby (not Rails) website, go get WEBrick (
http://www.webrick.org/), run through it’s documentation and tutorials.

There’s an entire chapter in the Pickaxe called “Ruby and the web”:
http://www.rubycentral.com/book/web.html
Start with the hello world CGI. Then extend it to use form variables.
Then
extend it to perform a database query.
HTH,
