PHP: Ending the fun

by Mark Gibbs

February 6, 2001 —

Well folks, it has been a fun three weeks with PHP. In week one (www.nwfusion.com, DocFinder: 2831), we took a 5,000-foot view of PHP, its history and market. In week two (DocFinder: 2830), we looked at how to include PHP scripts in Web pages. Last week (DocFinder: 2829), we looked at using PHP in scripts.

This week we'll wrap up our look at PHP by examining how to handle forms in PHP, then we must move onto other topics that are whetting our appetites.

Handling a form in PHP is easy. Here's a form to be filled in by a user:

<form action= " phptest.php " method= " GET " >

Your name <input type= " text " name= " unam " ><br>

Your town <input type= " text " name= " town " ><br>

<input type= " submit " value= " Tell me! " >

</form>

As forms go it
