Getting information from FORMS in PHP?

Anon

I've seen examples of PHP generating FORMS, but I need to know how to get the information from the forms.

Here's a example of a form, just so I can see how to get some info from it:

<FORM ACTION="cgi-bin/email.cgi" METHOD="POST" name="myform">
Your email address</td>
<td><INPUT TYPE="text" SIZE="40" NAME="usersemail" MAXLENGTH="50"></td></tr>

<tr><td valign="top">Subject</td>
<td><INPUT TYPE="text" size="40" NAME="userssubject" MAXLENGTH="50"></td></tr>

<tr><td valign="top">Message</td>
<td><textarea rows="10" cols="40" NAME="usersbody" wrap="virtual"></textarea>

First, you want to change the FORM ACTION="myresult.php", this script will display/process the data that was submitted to it from the form, whose name you have given "myform".

Create "myresult.php". Whatever you named the 2 text fields and 1 textarea will be the name of the variable that contains the data for that respective input field. So, "myresult.php" should look something like this:

<head>
<title>myresult.php</title>
</head>
<body>

<?php
print("Email = $usersemail<br>\n");
print("Subject = $userssubject<br>\n");
print("Message = $usersbody<br>\n");
?>

</body>

What this will do is display the email, subject, and message they submitted from the page/form you named,"myform". What you decide to do with those 3 variables is all within the realm of possibilities...
