 * Hello,
 * Since the WordPress Post Editor is in HTML you can add radio buttons, submit 
   buttons, etc. but when you click the submit button, nothing happens. So what 
   I am looking to do is have some radio buttons with a submit button at the bottom,
   and depending on the information the user inputted return specific data from 
   a MySQL Database. Is that possible? Can I just add new tables in the WP Database
   for this?
 * Thanks!

 * You’ll need to write a plugin to do this. Start with [Writing_a_Plugin](http://codex.wordpress.org/Writing_a_Plugin).
