Here it is: https://www.buzztouch.com/files/howtos/Posting_Current_Location_to_a_Database_v1.0.pdf If you're looking to write to a database on the device itself, that's a much more advanced topic that I don't think anybody has cracked yet. It's possible, but would require modification of the current code.

Above and beyond the most helpful document mentioned above, there's a plethora of google help for php scripts.
