PHP & HTML Forms

reggy73

Hello,
am new to PHP and i need to know how i can use PHP to generate HTML code from a HTML Form

Thanx!

what do you mean by generating HTML code?

do you want to post some information from your form to the hole page or you want to send some data from your from the another page os some thing else?🙂

The form displays a Title Box & Heading(H1) box with a SUMBIT button - When the submit button is clicked it generates HTML code with a PHP code in it. The PHP code reads a table and displays a HTML table of items when displayed in a browser

Thanx 4 ur response - lets say the form has two fields: 1)Page Title & Page Heading.
When a user enters details into these 2 fields such as Books in the page title field & Reggy's Books in the page heading field & clicks on the sumbit button, another page(.php) displays which shows something like:

<html>
<head>
<title>Books</title></head>
<body>
<H1>Reggy's Books</H1>
<?php

<?
</body></html>

How can i do this?

Well you know that your html code isn't going to change so you can make those static print statments.

<?php

//so grab your varibles
$titleVaribleName= $GET[formfieldnamefortitle];
$headerVaribleName= $GET[formfieldnameforheader];

//now print them
print ("<html>");
print ("<head> ");
print ("<title>$titleVaribleName</title>
print ("</head> ");
print ("<body> ");
print ("<H1>$headerVaribleName</H1> ");
print ("</body>");
print ("</html> ");

Something close to that. If I am understanding you correctly.

i searched for it but i couldnt find anything. i think you cant do it with php

hi!
I am sorry but why use java for this?
if I understood you right you just want to display a html page with some php data, or am I wrong?
That is what most dynamic web pages do.
The form data on your page seems to work, there is just an error if you try to open a file.
So if you need further assistance please post your code from page2.php

Let me see your php code for page2.php
