Hey Everyone!
Hopefully this will teach some newbies to PHP info on Form Submission!
Okay so first we need to create the HTML for the forms and layout (If you don't know how to do this i suggest you go learn HTML first before you come to learning PHP)
Okay so now we have the HTML for the document, so below the body tag begin by opening the PHP Tags
Now we need to use an IF statment the check if the submit button has been pressed
$_POST is the variable as that's the method we used to submit the data, [' '] is the name of the variable (in this case submit)
So now we have called the IF statment, we need to declair a variable
Here we are saying the $text variable should be what we put in the text box on the form
Now we need to tell it what to display
So up to now, we have told PHP to check if the submit button has been pressed, if it has display what we typed into the box, but we need an else statment now, incase it hasent been pressed
After the submit button code in the form HTML type
There you have it, your code should now look like this
All Credits goes to one who really made this...
