  1. Form & PHP

  2. Introduction • All of the following examples in this section will require two web pages. • The first page retrieves information posted by the user, and the second sends the information from the web server and scripting engine back to the browser. • The first web page doesn’t have to contain any PHP script at all. • Second page contains PHP codes embedded in HTML codes.

  3. Getting Data from Form • An HTML form is a section of a document containing normal content, markup, special elements called controls (text field, checkboxes, radio buttons, drop down menu, text area), and labels on those controls. • Users generally "complete" a form by modifying its controls (entering text, selecting menu items, etc.), before submitting the form to an agent for processing (e.g., to a Web server, to a mail server, etc.)

  4. Getting Data from Form • To create a form using a pure HTML web page: Opening and closing <form> tags. (< form >……< /form> ) •  Any controls such as text field , radio button etc that are placed between the <form> tags, automatically become part of the form that is sent to the web server.

  5. Getting Data from Form • Method action tells the server which page to go to once the user has checked a submit button on the form • Example: <form method= post action =“test.php”> ……………. </form>

  6. Getting Data from Form • Attribute method controls the way that information is sent to the server • There are two values for attribute method: get and post • Example: <form method= post action = “test.php”> or <form method= get action =“test.php”> • In this course, most of our examples use post.
