Hi!
I´m completely new to PHP, so please don´t laugh when you see this 🙂

I have created a form on a webpage (test.html). There I have a textbox which is named "your_age".

test.html looks like this

<form action="test.php" method="POST">
<input type="text" name="your_age">
<input type="submit" name="submit">

</form>

When the info is sent to test.php, the php-file makes some calculations. My problem is how to call the info from the script so that I can use it as a variable...

I know that in ASP it would be something like this: Request.Form

How do you write it in PHP?
Plz help a newbie! 🙂

PHP is smarter then ASP 😉. And u can use the variables in PHP as normal variable, so try <? echo $your_age; ?> on the test.php and you will find the value on the form field.
