• Marking scheme:
  3 points for client sending the data
  2 points for packets and client reassembling the data
  3 points for server sticking it in the database.
• Sample answer:
  When an HTML form is submitted, the values are packed into packets and sent to the server. This is done using the TCP/IP protocol. On the server side, the packets are reassembled to get the full form data including some form of identification of the sender. When the packets are complete, the server sends an acknowledgement to the client that it has got the data. If the database package is not running, the server may start it. The server then adds the data to the appropriate table.
