another newb question

[pooker]

Ok I am playing with php login,

 

Here is a snippet of the code

 

<td width="294"><input name="myusername" type="text" id="myusername"></td>

</tr>

<tr>

<td>Password</td>

<td>:</td>

<td><input name="mypassword" type="text" id="mypassword"></td>

</tr>

 

 

I have already created the variables 

 

$myusername=$_POST['myusername'];

$mypassword=$_POST['mypassword'];

 

Here is where I am a little confused, when the post function fetches the myusername and mypassword from my form dose it notice it by th input name or the input id ?  And if it notices it by one and not the other what is the point for the other?

 

Sorry for really newb questions, I am new we all gotta start somewhere ^^

If you print_r($_POST); you will see it goes on name=>value for it's information. ID is a HTML attribute that can be used by other languages for example javascript.

$_POST/$_GET variable will contain the name of the input not the id. id is used for client side (javascript and css).
