Save form to external DB

Hi guys. I've got a tricky situation here. A client I'm doing a project for has TWO databases. One is the standard one for WP, the other one is an external DB, which is used to store previous form submissions (hardcoded forms). I either need a way to send info from WP forms to this DB, or I'll need to hardcode forms into a php template.

Any advice? I'm not sure how to do this.
