PHP Forms? What kind of Form do you need? Please give us some details on what you are trying to do.

I think what Kellafab means is how to process form data with PHP.

It actually is easy as pie.

Form variables are stored in global variable arrays called $HTTP_POST_VARS (for post variables, ie. the ones you use if you use post as your form submission method) and $HTTP_GET_VARS (for get variables. For method="get" forms.


The difference between POST and GET is that GET variables are sent using attributes in the end of the URL. Ie. what is actually done is that page "form.php?var_1=val_1&var_2=val_2" is requested. POST variables are sent in the HTTP request and thus are not at the end of the URL.


So if you have a form which in HTML looks soemthing like this:



In your form.php you would access the variables like this:

$HTTP_POST_VARS['username']
$HTTP_POST_VARS['email']


$HTTP_POST_VARS is quite long to use so also $_POST_VARS and $_GET_VARS work too.

If you want a quick tutorial here's one that I've used in the past, shows you the basics of forms and PHP and also using MySQL through PHP.
