_$POST ?????

[PhdJB]

When I am setting up my html forms for submission to my database, I cant figure out how to get the stuff from my forms to be connected to my PHP code for submission. I've tried a couple of different methods and none have worked.

set you form's form method to post/get and action to the php page you will use to handle the posted data, and use $_POST or $_GET to retrieve the data

Where does this apply at though, in my PHP Variables??? or in each of my forms???

That is just a matter of reading up on basic PHP and MySQL...

 

The form:

<form action="script.php" method="post">
  <input type="text" name="fullname">
  <input type="text" name="phone">
  <input type="submit value="Submit">
</form>

 

 

script.php: (part of it)

<?PHP
$fullname = $_POST['fullname'];
$phone = $_POST['phone'];
?>

 

Thats all it takes to get the your "stuff" from your forms "connected" to your PHP code. Now you can do what ever you want with the information by using $fullname and $phone. You could for instance write them to a database like MySQL...

in your php

 

heres what your form looks like:

 

<form name="thisform" method="post" action="process.php">
Username:   <input type="text" name="txName" /><br />
Password:   <input type="password" name="txPass" /><br />
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Login" /></form>

and your process.php is like this

 

$name = $_POST['txName'];
$pass = $_POST['txPass'];

//then you do the rest

Using the super global arrays applies in your PHP script, read the manual page on predefined variables.
