How do I customize my newthread.php to add in new text fields. Ex. in my case instead of message I need $tab, $explanation, and $key as well as username, forum id etc. I would also like to make a form that posted a thread on a different html document. I think I have already done that correctly.
Seperate html document:
<form METHOD="POST" NAME="postthread" action="http://www.guitar-rampage.f2s.com/Lessons/Contribute/upload/newthread.php?action=postthread">
<table width="100%">
<tr><td valign=top>
Your Name:
</td><td valign=top>
<input type=text name="username" value="" size="40">
</td>
</tr>
<tr><td valign=top>
<p> </p>
Subject:
</td><td valign=top>
<p> </p>
<input type=text name="subject" value="" size="40">
<p> </p>
</td>
</tr>
<tr><td valign=top>
Explanation 1:
<p><font color=blue>HTML OK in here. Type <p> to separate paragraphs.
</td><td valign=top>
<TEXTAREA NAME="explanation" value="" ROWS=10 COLS=82 wrap=physical>
</textarea>
</td></tr>
<tr>
<td valign=top>
Key:
</td><td valign=top>
<input type=text name="key" value="" size="20">
</td></tr>
<tr><td valign=top>
Tab:
<p><font color=blue>
Don't put explanation text under the tab!
</td><td valign=top>
<TEXTAREA NAME="tab" ROWS=15 COLS=82 wrap=physical>
