Getting a variable from a form

[D_tunisia]

Can someone please explain to me how I can put the contents of a text box into a variable?

Is it as simple as this?

if submit{
$email = 'email';
{

<input type="Text" name="email">

Submit

Not quite. If you want to check whether or not the form is submitted, you'll need to give your submit button a name:

<input type="submit" name="submitbutton">

. In PHP, this will set $GET['submitbutton'] or $POST['submitbutton'] (depending on your method, set in <form>). Thus, you can:

if (!empty($_POST['submitbutton'])) {
  // it's posted
}
else {
  // it's not posted
}

Now, use the same method for all other fields. If you have an input field named "email," you can access it by checking $GET['email'] or $POST['email'].
