Form Processing

[shujakku]

Hi,

 

I can create the page and have the records inserting, without any issue, but the problem I'm having is trying to understand the process involved.

 

I can find lots of tutorials on how to insert records but none on the logic behind it.

Can anyone point me in the direction of a tutorial.  What I'm trying to understand is the how the

form submits the page (to where I'm not sure) and then executes the form handling.

 

I'm using Dreamweaver to create the insert form, if that is of any consequence.

 

Thanks

Hi!

What do you want?

All form-results are in the global variable $_POST. So for example you got a form like this:

<form method="post" action="">
   <input type="text" name="foo" value="bar" />
   <input type="submit" name="submit" value="submit" />
</form>

And now you submit the form and can use the following code:

<?php
   echo $_POST['foo'];
?>
