How to add text from form into sql table? - php

Question

In my flex application, I have a form which retrieves data from an SQL table and displays it in the textinput:
<s:Form id="form" includeIn="ShoppingList" x="223" y="353"
creationComplete="form_creationCompleteHandler(event)" defaultButton="{button}">
<s:FormItem label="Name">
<s:TextInput id="textInput" text="{getAllShoppinglistResult.lastResult[0].name}"/>
<s:TextInput id="textInput1" text="{getAllShoppinglistResult.lastResult[1].name}"/>
<s:TextInput id="textInput2" text="{getAllShoppinglistResult.lastResult[2].name}"/>
<s:TextInput id="textInput3" text="{getAllShoppinglistResult.lastResult[3].name}"/>
</s:FormItem>
<s:Button id="button" label="Submit" click="button_clickHandler(event)"/>
</s:Form>
In this case, there is just 2 items in the SQL table, the other 2 text input fields of free.
I want to be able to type text into the textinput and it saves it to the server.
protected function button_clickHandler(event:MouseEvent):void
{
items.name = textInput.text;
createShoppinglistResult.token = shoppinglistService1.createShoppinglist(name);
}
protected function createShoppinglistResult_resultHandler(event:ResultEvent):void
{
}
I'm unsure as to what goes into the createShoppinglist..* function.
I know that the PHP service is correct as currently it does save it to the server but it just saves NULL, I want it to save the textinput. I know that if it were a datagrid I could use AddItem() for an Array Collection, but I don't know what I could use for a form?
