User's input.????

[phplearner04]

In C++

int main()
{
int a;
cout<<"enter a number: ";
cin>> a;
cout<< a<<endl;

return 0;

}

if you run this basic program in console (DOS)after compiling, you'll see the result.

===============

how can i write something like this in PHP??

i just want to write and run it in console or IE WITHOUT create a form in IE first. How do I accept a user's input.??

if you know, please answer it.

thank you very much

Your looking for Perl buddy.

PHP is web-based. So to get a users input, you need a web browser. Which means a web form.

Not the internet, as you can install PHP on your local machine, but a web browser.

With Perl you also install a compiler, but Perl functions much like C++ and can be used stand-alone or with web-support.

Oh yeah...here is how to do it in IE.

<?php
if($_POST['submit']){
$msg = $_POST['msg'];
echo "You entered: ".$msg;
} else {
echo "<form action=\"".$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']."\" method=\"post\">";
echo "Enter something: ";
echo "<input type = \"text\" name=\"msg\">&nbsp;<input type=\"submit\" name=\"submit\" value=\"Submit!\"></form>";
}
?>

this is not entirely true. just to clarify, you do NOT necessarily need a web server/web browser to use PHP. PHP fully supports CLI and GTK interfaces.
