basic forms

bakaal

i have some knowledge of JS so i whipped this up. if you look at it in html you'll see how i would like it. I dont now much php, but i would like make my page basically like that. except i want the names that get submited to become part of the static page. So how can i make my page look basically like that, using php?

<html>
<head>
<title>People to rob</title>
<script type="text/javascript">
function display() {
document.getElementById('container').innerHTML += document.form1.user.value + ' ID#'+document.form1.uid.value +'<a href="http://www.edrugtrader.com/rob.php?uid=' + document.form1.uid.value + '"> Rob</a>Posted by:' + document.form1.yourname.value
}
</script>
</head>

<body>

<form name="form1">
<p>
<b> Your EDT name</b>
<input type="text" length="20" name="yourname">
</p>
<b>User's Name who robbed you</b>

      <input type="text" length="20" name="user">
 </p>
 <p>
      <b>THeir Id number</b>
      <input type="text" length="5" name="uid">
 </p>
 <p>
      <input type="button" value="Display" onclick="display()" />
 </p>

</form>

<h1>People to rob.</h1>

</body>
</html>

lol do I really have to type all that again lol here I will make it short.

start the file with a <?php or <?
then all the HTML in side should be echoed out withthe

echo "//line of HTML";

and if you use a atribute ie. echo "<div align=\"center\">";

the \" \" are very imprtant as it tells the compiler that it is a string in a string.

hope that helps you then at the end of the script use ?> and same the file as name.php

all set.

Just the html? or include the JS too. also where, should i start the /? at?? body, head?? and that will make the names that i submit and get put below become part of the html of the page? so that if refresh they will still be there? thanks for the help.

in order to have php capability on ur file, u need to install php first.
download one from www.php.net
