simple input/outpu

[imnsi]

I am totally new with PHP, I know VB and C and I have seen some examples of code and it doesnt seem too complicated. Pretty similar to the two..

I want to just make a simple input/output page that would use a textbox on page 1 and then that variable would be loaded on page two.

Simple enough?

<form method="post" action="page2.php">

Name: <input type="text" name="name"><br><br>

<input type="submit" value="Submit">

</form>

Then on page2.php

<?

echo "Hello " . $_POST["name"] . ", welcome to page2";

?>

thanks,

now how would I either:

Add information to another file (mini-database)

and/or

Email it

??

mal()

and inserting into databases really depends on which database you are using. For MySQL, check out mysql_query() and www.mysql.com

Also search these forums. You'll find TONS of answers for both of these questions along with sample code.

If you're familiar with C, then PHP syntax is no stranger to you. PHP.net is an awesome resource, especially with your C background. All the documentation is there. Post back if you run into any problems.
