how to make a form save what a user puts in

extacy · Jun 22, 2011

so when someone puts there first name and last name into a form like so:

HTML:

<form>
First name: <input type="text" name="firstname" /><br />
Last name: <input type="text" name="lastname" />
</form>

how would i get it so save that information in a file for later use?
and how would i get it to show up in text in a different page like
oh hai first name last name

could some one help me please? thanks.

Your form is wrong try this:

PHP:

<form action="welcome.php" method="post">
First Name: <input type="text" name="fname" />
Last Name: <input type="text" name="lname" />
<input type="submit" />
</form>

If you want it to echo the results of that form its pretty simple.

PHP:

Welcome <?php echo $_POST["fname, lname"]; !

Code:

<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
function show_prompt()
{
var name=prompt("Please enter your name","Harry Potter");
if (name!=null && name!="")
  {
  document.write("Hello " + name + "! How are you today?");
  }
}
</script>
</head>
<body>

<input type="button" onclick="show_prompt()" value="Show prompt box" />

</body>
</html>

That's JavaScript with a prompt box.

It depends what you want done. If they are logging in code stuff in php. If you are using the echo put it in that file

i want it to save what the user puts in, for example: when they type in the firstname box it will save it so i can use it on a different page
such as like you type it in then go to a different page and on that page it shows your firstname,

That's what the code I gave you does, they submit their name in a prompt box and it will say "Hello ____ _____" . But you could easily change the code to say "Welcome ____ ____". Here:

Code:

<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
function show_prompt()
{
var name=prompt("Please enter your name","Harry Potter");
if (name!=null && name!="")
  {
  document.write("Hello " + name + "! How are you today?");
  }
}
</script>
</head>
<body>

<input type="button" onclick="show_prompt()" value="Show prompt box" />

</body>
</html>
