PHP Forms

[HassaMassa]

Using the HTML Form is very important in creating a PHP application, because it serves as a holder of information from a website's visitors and then use the PHP to process that information.

Heres the simple HTML Form.

The code below is a simple HTML Form with a two input boxes for Fullname, E-mail Address and a submit button. When the user click the submit button, the data in the form will be sent to the HTTP POST method to be processed in a PHP file called “processData.php”.

1. <
   
   html>
   
2. <
   
   body>
   
3. <
   
   h1>
   
   Sample HTML Form</
   
   h1>
   
4. <
   
   form action=
   
   "processData.php"
   
   method=
   
   "post"
   
   >
   
5. FullName:<
   
   input type=
   
   "text"
   
   name=
   
   "fullname"
   
   ><
   
   br>
   
6. E-
   
   mail
   
   Address:
   
   <
   
   input type=
   
   "text"
   
   name=
   
   "email"
   
   ><
   
   br>
   
7. <
   
   input type=
   
   "submit"
   
   >
   
8. </
   
   form>
   
9. </
   
   body>
   
10. </
    
    html>
    

Output:

Code for processData.php:

1. <?php
   
2. echo
   
   'Your Fullname is: '
   
   .
   
   $_POST
   
   [
   
   'fullname'
   
   ]
   
   ;
   
3. echo
   
   '<br/>'
   
   ;
   
4. echo
   
   'Your Email address is: '
   
   .
   
   $_POST
   
   [
   
   'email'
   
   ]
   
   ;
   
5. ?>
   

The code above will simply display the data that has been passed from HTML Form using the superglobal ”$_POST[]” variable. And the output of this application looks like as shown below:

Your Fullname is: Joken Villanueva
Your Email address is: [email protected]
