Questions about form............

1)Hello, can I know how to validate a checkbox n pull-down menu using ONLY php?(not Javascript)

2)What is the difference between the "name" and the "value" attributes in the form elements, say single text box and, will they give the same result if I output the variable using either one of them? ( <input type=text NAME=yourname> OR <input type=text VALUE=yourname> )

then

echo "Hello, $yourname!";

Thank you.

About question #1. You need to be more specific about the "Checking" part. I don't know what you mean.

About question #2. The name attribute will be what you want your variable to be named. The Value part is simply what that variable is going to have a value of. Example:
<form method="POST" action="here.php">
<input type="Text" name="gotroot" Value="Yes I do">
</form>

-----here.php------
<?php
echo "$gotroot";
?>
-----end here.php------

This will display "Yes I do". Or if you leave out the Value part it will take what the user puts in. 🙂 So there's your answer.
