Saving data from forms

Already have a functioning website built with HTML, CSS, JavaScript and PHP for sending information from a contact form. Now have another basic form that visitors can submit information for us to contact them regarding a product launch in the near future.

Form is currently built using HTML and input fields (see below)

<input id="phone2” type="text" name="phone" placeholder="Phone Number" />

We need to collect this data and store it in a database. Is the best way to do this using Rails? Any advice is appreciated.

If your existing site is flat files meaning PHP and HTML are mixed into both and no MVC framework is used then I would recommend just applying you custom php code when the form is submitted, so on $_POST capture the data and submit to the DB, job done.
