POST syntax in PHP

[Anon]

Hi,

Is there any difference in the following commands:

1) <form action="$PHP_SELF" method=post>

2) <form action="post">

how is the latter an abbreviated form of the former?

Thanks in advance

only the first one is correct. the second is not correct. the action tag needs to know the file which will handle the form. and method determines the method of handling the form. i.e. post or get.
